What's greek life like?

<p>I know only a small amount of students participate in greek life, is it very unnoticeable?
What are the different sororities like?
Do they accept upperclassmen (even jrs) who decide to rush?</p>

<p>I don’t know how sororities are, but some of the fraternities have off campus housing. Greek life is pretty isolated. With the lack of University-acknowledged fraternity houses, many of the social events (parties) only allow in greek-members (and of course females). On campus the Greeks wear letter-apparel which is cool.</p>

<p>Sororities do mixers with the fraternities though, which I hear are cool.</p>

<p>Last I heard, one of the major fraternities had its charter revoked. In addition, Fraternity Houses are illegal in Boston.</p>

<p>Sorority and Frat houses are illegal in Boston , but exist in Cambridge.
Are you inquiring about sororities or fraternities ?</p>

<p>NEW houses are illegal, but many were grandfathered in and still have permanent houses in Boston. Northeastern only has one, but MIT has a bunch on the Boston side of the river near BU.</p>

<p>I was asking about sororities. I’m applying to transfer as a junior and was wondering if any one knew information on the different houses and rush process. Are upperclassmen able to participate in rush and have a chance at getting into a house?</p>

<p>That’s what we’re explaining - yes anyone can get in a sorority (even upperclassmen) but there is no “house” to get into.</p>

<p>The listing of the different sororities is on the greek life website.</p>

<p>I meant like are there more popular ones (the “top” houses) that make cuts just because they know upperclassmen wont be in them as long?
I’m coming from a southern school with very formal rush and not enough spots for everyone at all so it’s very different</p>
