frat life in general

Hey guys,

I might be coming to UR this fall as a european transfer student and I very well could end up rushing. Greek life would be very new to me however, and I've been trying to read up on what I can online, but I guess I'll just have to experience it when I get there.

I've read much about UR, but I'm getting a mixed vibe about the social scene. Are there many parties, fun to be had? The administration seems very strict, but is there alcohol easily available, etc.? Or how does it really work?

Is rushing as a sophomore difficult?
