social life

<p>what is the social life like at Penn. Do you need to be in frats to go to parties. are parties common on campus.</p>

<p>Haha obviously in a school of 10,000 undergrads the social scene is going to be very diverse and hard to capture in a few sentences. Approximately 30% of the campus is in frats and sororities. In a survey, 15% of students said that they do not drink alcohol at all, i.e. 85% of students drink in some capacity. You do not need to be in a frat to have a social life or go to parties. There are numerous frat parties every weekend, but you don’t have to go to them. The big nights for parties are Thursdays and Saturdays because many students try to arrange their schedules so that they don’t have class on Fridays. If you aren’t interested in the Greek scene, you can certainly still have a lot of friends and have a lot of fun. You can go to movies, play pick-up soccer games, play videogames, whatever you enjoy.</p>
