<p>Do people party here a lot like big frat parties </p>
<p>Lehigh is trying to keep a very low profile! There are no parties here! </p>

<p>@waitingdad so yeah, lots of fun parties?</p>
<p>If I’m not mistaken, parties over a certain size have to be registered. At orientation, I think I recall the university police saying an officer is present at registered parties. It’s been a couple of years, though, so I’m not sure what the current protocol is or if I have the details correct. </p>
<p>My son seems extremely happy at Lehigh, in engineering. His grades are great and he has an amazing group of friends, both inside and outside of his fraternity. Seems like a very happy campus for someone that is intelligent, capable of working hard to maintain grades that also has mature social skills to interact with fellow students. </p>
<p>On tuesdays the parties get going and they rage the rest of the week. Usually the kids start loudly boozing and getting high in their dorms and then head out to the off campus frat parties (unregistered, unsupervised, unsafe) which the school has foolishly forced out to South Bethlehem, a seriously shady place. </p>
<p>foreal/LEPops seems to have some information that is different from my kid’s experience. If he/she has PROOF, he/she should definitely present it to authorities instead of alleging it in comments on College Confidential, of all places. Every student at Lehigh that I’ve met is smart and sociable, knowing how to balance academics and fun. Whatever someone wants to do, they’ll find it…at Lehigh and EVERY university/college around. Lehigh is offering my engineering student a great, well-balanced college experience. Thank goodness my kid is in a fraternity that doesn’t do what foreal is alleging. </p>
<p>Things have tightened up the last few years but now that President Gast is gone hopefully the new president will restore the good times!</p>
