<p>If you not part of a frat, will the social scene pretty much suck compared to the frat scene.</p>

<p>No (10 characters)</p>

3

<p>yes.
go greek</p>

4

<p>dfleish and juicy08, are you students at northwestern?</p>

5

<p>Yes...and part of the greek scene, if that is helpful.</p>

<p>I definitely think there are a TON of added perks and I am happy I chose to go greek, I love it. But there are so many kids I know who did not join a house that that have just as social NU experiences that I really don't see it making or breaking someone's time at NU.</p>

<p>(That being said, the greek scene provides a lot of outlets for social situations, and if not involved in a similarly social scene you might have to work a little harder to find and be a part of those situations.)</p>

<p>And correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure Juicy is a freshman... and rush hasn't even happened yet... so you can make of that what you will.</p>

<p>Are greek parties generally open or private</p>

7

<p>My favorite aspects of the social scene are things like date parties and formals which are only open to the people in the houses involved. But most houses will do parties/events that are open to everyone (space permitting) to attract new members and keep their name/rep on campus (SigEp Prep Party, etc.).</p>

<p>I'm a freshman, and a lot of my friends have gone to many frat parties already. Highlighter parties at Sig Chi come to mind.</p>

<p>My social life didn't change much after I joined a fraternity.</p>

<p>But then again, the people I hung out/partied w/ were very "social" to begin w/ (w/ many ending up joining fraternities).</p>
