B) Fraternity-sorority mixers are NOT open and others do not come, unless they want to make awkward butts of themselves.
C) Fraternity formals are NOT open and you would be very awkward showing up at one without at date.
D) Many smaller fraternity house parties, while technically open, would be awkward for someone who is not a close friend of the members to attend.
E) Fraternities often "ball" particular people and call them and ask them never to come to their house again

You know, you pretty much just described what it was like to be Greek at Brown as well (at least not one of those crazy co-ed houses), and Brown's Greek scene was not intense at all, at least as of 2003.
At schools where 65-80% of the students are Greek, what do the other 20-35% do?
