Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

There's not an overwhelming Greek population. Frat parties do make up a significant percentage of the party scene, but students don’t have to be Greek to go. For the most part, the fraternities and sororities co-exist with everyone else on campus, although some students report that the Greek students rarely venture out of the system.

While most students don’t mind the Greek life on campus, some believe that rush week can get a little annoying with the new pledges chanting all day long, the sorority girls singing, and everyone running around in togas and scrubs. However, rather than get annoyed with them, most students prefer to just laugh. Because really, when you see a big group of hot guys walking down the street and they’re all wearing lipstick, what else can you do?

Frats and Sororities........

People not in frats/sororities generally view those in such organizations as not very serious about college. True, there are some that legitimately aim to connect you with a job after graduation, or do better in school, but the majority of them just use your dues to host parties. I am short enough on money (nothing but top ramen and milk for 3 weeks! Ugh!); I don't need to throw it away at them.

Doesn't Matter

It doesn't matter if you're in a sorority or not, in fact guys respect you and are glad to hear that you're not! Even guys in frats tend to view sorority girls as neither superior nor inferior to non-greek members. Girls don't care that much if a guy is in the Greek system, but knowing guys in frats is useful for getting into parties. However, you do not need to be a member of the greek system to go to parties, however in general (regardless of whether you are in the greek system or not) it is easier for girls to get into parties than guys. Overall, the Greek system is great because it remains separate from school and is not discriminating towards non-greek members. Frat guys do throw great parties on weekends!

Greek Life

Greek life is not huge at Davis, however it is definitely a great option. Since Davis is not a big city, greek life provides many activities. You will never be bored on a weekend night.
