Though Greek life at W&M may not be as "in your face" as it might be at the University of Alabama, the Greek system at William & Mary does very well for itself, attracting more than 30 percent of students. It is also continuously growing, with record numbers of girls entering formal sorority rush in recent years. While Greek life is surprisingly prominent for such a small school, it is definitely not the only social outlet for students. There are still many club sports, cultural organizations, and special-interest organizations for students who have no interest in Greek life. Still, students have been known to praise the Greek system as a fun and easy way to get to know most of the young men and women on campus.
Though the school has been known to have some mild animosity toward Greek life (especially considering the tendency for underage members to feel pressure to drink alcohol), the bond between Greek life and the school has been on the mend. Recently, the school declared that RAs are no longer needed in sorority or fraternity units, a welcomed gesture for these organizations that thrive on being social and, well, throwing awesome parties.

Greeks Don't Dominate the Scene
Greek life is a decent part of campus, but they do not dominate the party scene. Sports and clubs also have fun parties.

Greek Life
Greek life is there for parties and some other events but it doesn't dominate at William and Mary. Everyone can go to the frat parties so they aren't that exclusive.
