Washington students tend to room-dwell, so nobody outside the Greek system really does much. Room-dwelling nerds occasionally hook up, but most of the time, if you want to meet anybody, you go to the Greek system. Most weekends I go home because there isn't much going on here.

I live in a sorority on campus and have found it to be really beneficial. I had initially believed the stereotype that sorority girls are just dumb, superficial party girls, but when my mom forced me to rush I was pleasantly surprised to find this wasn't true. I consider myself to be an academically oriented person, and living in a sorority has actually helped me get better grades. I always have girls that I live with in classes with me so we can study together, and upperclassmen to give me study tips on classes they've already taken. It's also just a nice clean living environment and more spacious than living in the dorms. Also, I like that I come back to school at the end of each summer to the same people, it's comfortable. I could be wrong, but I believe that our house bills (which include food) are cheaper than the cost of a dorm and a meal plan too.

The most popular activities on campus are either greek life or IMA teams. Sports and intramural activities are pretty important on campus. The greek system here is pretty big and fairly diverse if you take the time to look at all the different houses. There are a lot of frats and sororities, and they are all different from each other. However, the majority of students aren't in the greek system. For me the greek system is where I have met my closest friends and have reconnected with friends from when I was younger. Its great to have the support system of people like you instead of being randomly assigned a roommate in the dorms.

I am a commuter who grew up in Seattle, so most of my friends tend to be students I have known for my whole life. However, there are often events on campus (and I am always trying to get my friends to go!). There are a lot of house parties around the University District, since many students rent rooms in large houses. There is a lot of underage drinking at these parties. I stopped going to them once I turned 21, and now I usually go to concerts and bars in Capitol Hill with my friends.

The social scene mostly takes place on greek row. Students who want to party go there from the dorms and the students who live there party as well. People party pretty much every weekend. the clubs i am involved with aren't very social. I don't think we do that much stuff.
