Attractive Clones

The student body is generally very attractive, just not much diversity. Make sure you're prepared for the broverload. The sorority girl prototype is also dominant, wearing their uniform of uggs/hunters, leggings, northfaces, and sorority shirts/sweatshirts. There is definitely a population of students who break the mold and display their own personal style, but these students aren't really celebrated. The "cool kids" are the ones who conform. I would really like to see Denison become a more of a place that encourages individuality.

Going Greek? It Shouldn't Be a Burden.

Most people on campus would like to believe for the sake of passing on mere gossip that Greek life commands the social hierarchy of the school. That isn't true. They enjoy themselves without bothering other people and not many untoward incidents are reported. People who do not wish to join fraternities/sororities have a whale of a time too. I've been there and I know it well.
