College Prowler Take
Most outsiders are a little cautious of Greek life, but fraternity and sorority members share a proud allegiance to their organizations. The social scene at Carnegie Mellon is different from most other colleges. While it’s true that frat parties make up a large percentage of the partying that takes place on and off campus, these events are never really big deals for non-Greek students. The influence that fraternities have on non-Greek students is a passive one, but the frat scene is popular for freshmen to explore even if they don’t join. With the Morewood Gardens, New House, and Mudge dorms right next to the frat quad, freshmen have easy access to Panhellenic debauchery. Students interested in the brotherhood or sisterhood that Greek life offers can find it at CMU. Orientation week is a good time to frequent frat parties and find out if going Greek is something you’d be interested in. Only around 15 percent of students go Greek, so there’s really no pressure to join, and it does not signal the end of your social life at CMU. The sororities don’t really throw any parties, but naturally, girls can go to whatever frat party they want, no questions asked. A number of Pitt girls actually come up to CMU because the frats are cleaner and safer than the ones at Pitt. Guys who aren’t brothers may have a little more trouble getting in, but it’s not impossible especially if you have friends who can get you on the guest list. Students Speak Out

There are 13 fraternities now, but adding the Pan-hellenic and multicultural fraternities, you get four more. I'm in an Asian fraternity, and I can honestly say that it is great. The brothers help you out with everything and are not afraid to do be of assistance. Anything from choosing classes to just partying it up, the fraternity has helped me. The parties are fun, and it is a great way to connect with people throughout the campus even in other years. Some people have stated their discontent at fraternity and sorority life, but as a member of a fraternity, it is not all about the sex and girls. Our first pillar in our fraternity is academic achievement because, after all, you come to college for the education. Fraternity life is supposed to be a supplement, and I believe CMU Greek life has a lot to offer in that department.

Greek life serves as the basis of social life mostly for freshman and affiliated students. After the first year, it is an afterthought if nothing else is happening off campus and if no one is going to a bar.

The campus is split into those who go to frat parties and those who don't. You can find plenty of people who are interested in what you are—whether it be partying or staying in.

Greek life at CMU is very different from that of most colleges. I don't know much about the sororities, but each of the frats has a certain reputation and role in the Greek life on campus. They provide entertainment and parties during the weekends and have huge roles during Spring Carnival.

Greek life occupies are large part of the social life for some, but there are plenty of non-Greek social events. Many focus on their studies and don't get into Greek life.
