The administration and the community can't stand the greeks and have been trying to kill the greek social scene (which is pretty much the only social scene at Lafayette) over the past few years as well. Plus, we only have about 2500 students, 6 sororities (2 of which are well under chapter total, which is 75), and 8 fraternities (their numbers range from about 80 to 5 brothers). Maybe the Princeton Review needs to do their research again.

I go to Lafayette College...Since this post in 2002, 2 more fraternities have been kicked off campus. We only have 6 frats and 6 sororities now. The administration HATED Greeks, however last year a new college president took office and he has done a lot for the Greek community. He is willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, whereas in the past, the administration/public safety specifically had it out for the greeks.
It is true that the Greek scene is huge at Lafayette and does encompass most of the social scene. Our chapter total for sororities is still 75...5 out of the 6 sororities are at this cap or are close to it. Fraternities vary in terms of number of members.
