Greek Life at University of Rochester

Greeks Are Abundant, but Manageable

Greek life is fantastic at Rochester. It's not a make or break thing, but being Greek definitely opens more doors for you. That being said, Greek life at the U of R is nothing like the movies. There is a strict anti-hazing policy, and there's no "in" frat or sorority. There are plenty of frat parties that you can go to even if you're not Greek.

Few Punishments, Though Security Noticable

The school doesn't mind much that you drink, as long as you do so safely. They will and do send medical help if you need it. Drug use is more severely punished. Security will come into parties occasionally, just to look, see what's going on, and so you know they're there. As far as residential problems, RAs may tend to be more strict, but this depends on the individual RA.
