College Prowler Take

The general consensus is that going Greek is mostly your own personal choice. Greek life is prevalent, but it doesn’t dominate the social scene. Some people never go through rush and are happy with their choice. Others stay with a particular fraternity or sorority throughout their entire college career and are equally happy.

There’s no doubt that pledging is a great way to meet a lot of people and become involved in a lot of activities. However, if fraternities or sororities aren’t your style, then there are plenty of other opportunities to get involved in school. Keep in mind that not all Greek organizations are social. There are several sororities and fraternities that are community related, if that’s more to your taste. No matter what you choose, you should feel comfortable with what you do.

Greek life is present at Auburn, but it is not a big deal. If you want to go to frat party, you can get in if you are not Greek.

Greek life is huge. If you aren't Greek, don't try to go to their parties! You don't have to be Greek to have a great time, though.

Greek life at Auburn is definitely present, but it doesn't make or break your college life. A student can have just as good of an experience not in a sorority or fraternity as they could in one.

I enjoy Greek life at Auburn. I have been in a sorority here, and it has really enhanced my college experience. I know that sounds cheesy, but it’s true. I found that joining a Greek organization was the best way to meet people in a town where I knew no one. But, if Greek is not for you, then there are other organizations on campus to get involved in.

Greek life doesn’t dominate the social scene at all. It’s obvious that it’s there, but there is no definitive line that separates the Greeks from the Independents.
