I am a current freshman at penn state, and I could not be happier with my decision to attend. The education you receive at Penn State is world renowned. Whenever you tell somebody you go to Penn State, they will be impressed. I am in the Smeal college of business. We were recently ranked number one in job recruitment. There are so many resources available to you here as well.

Socially, the school revolved around greek life, especially for guys. Most guys choose to join a fraternity because you will have no social life if you do not. Although this may not sound ideal, i assure you joining a fraternity will be the best decision you have ever made. Girls do not need to join a sorority, don't waste your time. Overall, Penn State is a well respected academic institution with a booming greek social scene.

questionNow, when you say guys won't have a social life if they don't join a fraternity…is this really true?

I like to party and have a good time, and like the idea of being part of a fraternity, but, I don't like the idea of being a pledge and taking shit from someone (I'm can deal shit out but taking it, haha.)

So, being a guy that knows how to have a good time, is there really going to be no social life for me at UP? There are plenty of parties that I can go to, right?

responsePledging is not that bad i recommend it. you wont have absolute no social life, but you will only be able to go to small apartment parties, and thats only if you know somebody that owns the apartment. you wont be able to get into any frats, except during rush. You should definitely rush and check out some frats
responseAs a pledge, what kind of things do they have you do? If I'm paying 40k a year for college, I'll need to be studying and getting good grades…how hard is that while pledging?
