<p>I am really interested in Lehigh but a lot of the things I've read say the kids party 5 times a week, the sororities are really shallow and theres a big divide between greeks and non greeks. I love going out (but only 2-3 times a week, school is most important) and plan on joining a sorority but I'm not interested in shallow and catty ones. Can someone please tell me their experience and if these things are true? Thanks!! </p>

<p>Such a school specific question would be better off posted on the Lehigh CC page. <a href=“Lehigh University - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/lehigh-university/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I am currently Lehigh freshman and i applied early decision last year, So when I started digging deeper (after already being legally committed to attending) i started to freak out reading all the forums thinking that I was going to be stuck around a bunch of drunks and be kind of a loner, because I generally don’t like to drink. Since I was committed I had to come anyways and I’m VERY happy with my decision. I am part of “CHOICE” housing which is open to everyone and has nearly 200 students this year. We are a group of kids that basically pledge not to drink in our dorms or come back drunk. As a result the living enviroment is not as bad as a normal dorm and the people you are with are a lot more like you. Some do still go out and party, but they do not make anyone feel guilty for not going and they do not disrupt the halls when they return. I have a lot of really close friends from CHOICE housing and plan to continue living there next year. and no we aren’t all nerds. It is actually impressive how many completely normal people make the same decisions not to party away their college years.
I blog for my work study at Lehigh. We talk about all kinds of things from clubs to classes, to dorm life. I suggest checking it out ( especially the early in the year posts when we were all just starting living here)
this is one I wrote about my dorm: <a href=“6 o’clock dinner | First-Year Lehigh Engineers”>http://luengineer.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/2013/11/06/6-oclock-dinner/&lt;/a&gt;
and this is the blog in general: <a href=“http://luengineer.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/”>http://luengineer.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
