College Prowler Take
Although about half of the campus belongs to a Greek organization, Greek Life is not as overwhelming as you’d expect. If you don’t want to join a frat or sorority, don’t worry about being chastised for it. Often the only way to tell who’s in a sorority is by the Greek paraphernalia they wear since sorority girls don’t live in sorority houses. It’s a little easier to tell which guys are in frats since they do live together, but again, no one really sees it as a big deal. The different houses intermingle all the time. The frat parties do dominate the party scene, but if it’s not your thing, you can usually find something else to do. A lot of first-years get sucked into the frat scene because there seems to be so little else to do. However, you will find that sometimes just chilling in the dorms is better than going out.
If you are interested in Greek Life, Albion is a good place to get involved in it. Going Greek doesn’t mean that it’s going to take over your life. Most Greek organizations are concerned with their chapter’s academic standing, and they all take pride in it. Rushing an organization is not troublesome either, as the College has a strict “no hazing” policy that every chapter must follow. There are definite stereotypes that go along with each fraternity and sorority though, so be careful in choosing the one that’s right for you.

Greek life is huge, but you can exist without being involved in it. The thing is most people get sucked into it anyway, but there are many non-Greeks that hang around with Greeks. |

As with all things at Albion, you can avoid the fraternity scene if you want nothing to do with it. If you’re looking to take part, they’re always looking for new members or just someone to show off to. |

The Greek social scene is big, but I’m not in a fraternity, and I’ve never had trouble meeting people. It’s big, but not overpowering. |

Greeks make up about half of our campus. They don’t all fit the cookie-cutter Greek mold, however. Many of my friends are in what are considered ‘nerdy’ sororities and fraternities. I still don’t know all the names of our Greek chapters, so it hardly dominates our school, and they’re not too cliquey. |

Most people go Greek, which is kind of annoying if you are not, but it’s really not that big a deal to me. |
