A great majority of upperclassmen go greek. However, if you decide to not rush, you can still attend many of the parties and mixers hosted by the greeks

Greek Life Is Everywhere

As a Freshman guy you feel a little left out because parties are harder to get into, but that all changes once you pledge sophomore year. For those who don't pledge, you shouldn't worry too much as you'll probably have friends in frats who can help you get in, but I would suggest pledging.
