University of Washington Seattle - UW Greek Life Reviews

UW is the safest and most lit place to join a Frat or Sorority

honestly greek life here will never be as "lit" as wazzu but i feel like for the diversity of people and our IQ's we all make the best of it and have a good time anyways

Wow I really don’t understand all the hate on UWs greek system. Personally, I’ve had the time of my ice here and really never fail to have fun on any given night. Some parties do get a bit repetitive but there’s always something to do. Attractiveness of girls declines pretty steeply once you get out of the top 3 houses, and only a handful of those girls have any sort of compelling personality. Regardless, I have very few bad things to say about UW.

if you're not doing greek life here, you basically won't have a social life. greeks hate when geeds go to their parties. i've heard rough hazing stories but nothing too crazy, and mostly with fraternities. all i have to say is that the fraternities here are extremely subpar, and pale in comparison to the sororities.

The girls rush is much more competitive than the boys, however top houses for boys becomes harder to get into. The tailgates in greek row are wild.

idk uw greek system just is different than the others. I don't like the big divide between geeds and greeks.I hear of hazing all the time but never see it. Also houses aren't great at socializing with eachother.

Definitely overhyped by people desperate to get new members / defend their involvement in Greek life. Parties are mostly average, all of them kind of blend together. Tier system is whack, everyone is way too obsessed with the rep and doesn't realize that their own rep is in the toilet. I would say UW greek life is ready for a new era, everyone's ego is WAY too inflated for what actually goes down (Hoses on probation, avg parties, avg to below average looks, catty / douchey attitudes on GR).

Makes a huge school seem more personal

The UW greek system is awesome because you live in the houses as a freshman so you get to know your PC well. Minimal hazing and a cool system where frats party with other frats so you get to know guys in other houses.

For a Greek system that doesn't even have fun parties, people obviously care way too much about what other houses are doing based off the frequent posts. If you want fun Greek life, don't go to UW.
