I'll chime in. If you go by the number of registered parties, and events that are strictly Greek, then there's no social life here. But parties are rarely registered. Our typical weekend is four or five of the fraternities holding huge 200-300 person bashes, $5 for GDI's, girls and Greeks get in free. The parties invariably get broken up by the town police (the university has no jurisdiction).
This year we had a new NPC advisor who tried to get the sororities to go for dry mixers and such (the advisor just graduated from OU, where she claims such things go on). She also tried to get the women to keep out of the fraternity houses. It was somewhat less than successful, although her influence did produce the first acceptable Greek Week in years.
For my house, we're dry, so we don't hold the huge parties, and we're small, so the sororities look down their pretty noses at us. Though I can't blame them- an exchange between a 20-man fraternity and a 70-woman sorority would be a bit lopsided. So we don't have any traditional socials. We have some random BBQ's and holiday parties, but that's it. At least on the dry side, next year we at least get some company- Theta Chi's new colony will be dry.
