<p>Emory has high frat/sorority penetration (1/3), but that scene doesn’t really dominate the social scene by any means like I hear it does at schools w/similar or higher penetration. That may have to do w/the fact that the school is more academically oriented b/c of the lack of D-1 sports. The role of various cultural and academic organizations seems more profound here. </p>
<p>I like Wake Forest, but I find it odd. For some reason it’s much smaller than many of the top 20 privates but has a higher student-faculty ratio. However, they may have a higher proportion actually teaching undergrads. I have no idea. Also, 50%, that’s huge! I can’t imagine the impact of that plus sports. Sounds fun, but I imagine it would be far different from here (I’m guessing it is more like Duke and Vanderbilt).</p>
