Colgate is white-washed. Although it attempts to bring in minorities and diverse ideas, minority students find themselves self-segregating - such as living in the HRC, and as a result the prominent scene at Colgate is frat-boys and insecure girls who go out 3 to 4 nights a week and black out at the jug. Most Colgate students come from the upper class, and although some of this can be seen in preppy styles, it is manifested to an even greater greater extent in a self entitled attitude. Stereo types about the frats: Phi Delta Theta = dorky guys, but a tight knit fraternity. DKE = underground sketchballs who party hard. Phi Tau = assholes who get in fights. Beta Theta Pi = Preppy guys who think they are way cooler than they actually are. Delta Delta Delta = the ugliest sorority. Theta Chi = drugee frat. DU = meatheads. KKG = hot sorority. Kappa Alpha Theta = coke sluts (Fuck a theta marry a kappa). Gamma Phi = nice girls, but a solid third place. Sigma Chi = fratty guys who party hard, not a fraternity.
