College Prowler Take
For some reason, Dickinson seems to have a much more prominent Greek life than similiar schools, and it often feels as though almost every other person you see walking around campus is wearing something with Greek letters on it. This might be because the Greek community is basically the heart of the party scene and dominates social life on campus. Thus, is not uncommon for students who are not Greek to feel bitter about the Greek scene as a whole. But, it is generally understood by those who are involved in the Greek scene that it is not for everyone, and non-Greeks aren’t particularly shunned from Greek social events and parties. Greek life, while it is big at Dickinson, is not the whole community, and there are many students who opt not to partake in it. Guys make this decision in the spring of their freshman year, while girls must wait to rush until the fall of their sophomore year. A lot of students choose to become a member of a Greek organization because it is a great way to meet people and become involved on campus. Choosing to be part of a Greek society is really at the discretion if the individual and a matter of personal preference. Students Speak Out

Greek life is great on campus. Not everyone is head over heels about it, but the people who do rush end up having a great time with it. Some of the Greeks are the smartest people in the school, and there are many community service activities that go along with being Greek. The parties are also a blast. In the end, Greek life does not take up the social scene, and if you choose not to do it, that is fine—there are other social scenes.

It's very present, but it doesn't matter if your friends are involved in Greek life and you're not. It's not an overwhelming part of campus, and it doesn't cause people to lose friends.

It seems a lot more prominent sometimes than it actually is. Freshmen like to go to all of the parties because they don't have the social base yet to find house parties, which actually make up most of the social scene.

Since Dickinson is so small, the small amount of people actually involved in Greek life feels large. It dominates the majority of the social scene, and Greek organizations pride themselves on throwing exclusive parties. You can still have a social life and not be involved in Greek life, but it all depends on who you know.

Those who are involved in Greek life can let it control their lives, but you do not have to be involved to maintain a social life.
