<p>LorenIpsum, transfering into Ross if you are at another university is very difficult. The acceptance rate for such transfers is less than 5%.</p>
<p>LDB, I went to Michigan, so I obviously know what I am talking about. Michigan does not have a Greek-centric social structure, even for freshmen seeking an active party life. Like I said, only 15% of students are greek. There are many alternatives to fraternities, from bars and clubs to house parties and pre-game parties (such as tailgating etc…). Some universities have a much heavier reliance on the greek scene. Schools like Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, Northwestern and UVa, where over 25% of the students belong to a fraternity or sorority. That is not the case at Michigan. </p>
<p>Of course, joing a fraternity facilitates and provides a structured framework for students to socialize and party. All I am saying is that at Michigan, there are many alternatives to going greek simply because such a large majority choose not to join a fraternity or sorority. </p>
<p>But typically, those concerned about a Greek-heavy campus are seeking a social culture that does not involve too much partying, and that is where Michigan excels.</p>
<p>I never belonged to a fraternity while in college and I had fun from the moment I arrived on campus.</p>
