- Greek Life

No Greek Life, but Social Houses

There is no Greek life at Midd. There are social houses, which people live in based on interests. These social houses have a dry rush and pledge process, are co-ed, and are generally very inclusive of all types of people. They often throw parties on weekends. There is definitely no divide between students who live in social houses and those who don't, which makes them very accessible and open to all types of students.

We Don't Have One.

We have co-ed social houses in place of frats and sororities.

Some throw decent parties, but they are nothing special. Each house has a "type" although almost anyone can pledge. KDR for example is filled with urban-oriented kids while "the Mill" is for hipsters and ADP is filled with football players and their girlfriends.

Greek-Less

We don't have a greek life at Middlebury. There are "social houses", which is basically our greek life, only its co-ed. To me, not having Greek life is one of the best things about Midd. There are still greek-like parties, and even a period where people "rush" to get into the houses, but the dynamic is different and less exclusive than I would imagine a normal greek system to be. If you're looking for thousands of new people at every party, tons of social events, and exclusiveness, then Middlebury probably isn't your scene. There are still tons of parties to go to and lots of things to do, just not with the same dynamic.
