<p>Can anyone tell me what the social life is for kids who don’t go Greek? How many are there and what do they do socially? Can they go to Frat parties if they are not members?</p>
<p>I did choose to go Greek, but I have a number of friends who didn’t and they definitely still have a social life. I believe between 50 and 60 percent of sophomores, juniors, and seniors are in a sorority or fraternity, which actually works out well because Greek life is large enough to provide a social scene but not so large that only Greeks are invited to it.</p>
<p>First-years cannot rush (it’s the first week back sophomore year), but fraternities have parties each weekend and it is quite easy for all girls (even freshmen or non-Greek women) to get in. It is a little harder for freshmen boys, but if they know upperclass boys or go with a lot of girls, they will typically get in.</p>
<p>And Greek life is not the be-all and the end-all for social activities on campus.</p>
<p>If a student doesn’t go Greek and doesn’t want to go to Greek parties, what would he/she typically do on a weekend?</p>
<p>Our Campus Activities and Programming (CAP) center contains the student organization Activities and Campus Events (ACE), which organizes around 20 events per weekend. There are musicians, comedians, mentalists, improv groups, movies, craft nights, etc. The problem is never that there isn’t enough to do, but rather that you have to choose! Our “nightclub”, Uptown, will also typically do karaoke, trivia, have a local or well-known musician/band, pool nights, guitar hero tournaments, etc.</p>
<p>Thanks for your helpful answer, BucknellBubbly.</p>
