Tufts University
- Greek Life

Surprisingly a Big Deal

For Tufts, which is known for being a small school with a limited social scene, Greek life is a big deal. Almost all the big parties are at frats, so even if you're not at all interested, you're going to be there. There's a lot of mixers and inter-Greek stuff, so not being in it can be annoying, especially if you have friends in it. And our frat houses aren't even that nice, except DTD's, so it's a general disappointment.

Tufts Frats > Tufts Sororities

The nice thing about being a girl at Tufts is that there's only a small minority of girls in sororities, so there's not pressure to join one at all. There's a slightly larger population of frats on campus, and while they do hold obnoxious parties a lot, they don't dominate the school life. It's easy to avoid frats and sororities at Tufts completely, and still have a ton of fun.

Average Greek Life

Essentially, the Greek life at Tufts depends entirely on the night and who's in your group. If you know someone at the frat you will get in, but to be honest the frat parties themselves are quite lame... On campus, Greek life doesn't have a very large impact.
