Greek Life at Wake

About 70% of girls and 40% of boys participate in the Greek system at Wake Forest. There are about 8 sororities and 14 fraternities. Greek life is a pretty big part of Wake, and ultimately (at least for the first couple of years) divides the campus between Greeks and GDI's (non-greeks). The administration, however, is not a huge fan of of the Greek system and is working its best to downplay Greek life and get rid of chapters. Being greek is a great way to meet friends and stay involved on campus.

BEM Is Tough--But Worth It

The Business School is tough--no way around it. Grades are deflated and all of your classmates will be just as smart and driven as you. However, the resources in terms of teachers (rated #1 in undergrad business teaching quality by BusinessWeek), peers, and career preparation/opportunities is so worth it!
