ucf

ucf is around 6-7% greek. which is a small percentage but 6% of 60k students is 3600 making it a decent sized community.

if you dont associate yourself with it you wont really "notice" it out of choice. but there are a couple big philanthropies that get a lot of buzz so the impact is noticed in that sense

It's a small percent but considering a lot of the school is commuters it's not that small

i think it's pretty large. the percentage is small, but considering ucf is huge, thats still thousands of people. and they definitely make themselves known, non-greeks will definitely notice greek life. my roommates are not greek and they notice greek life all the time and come to me with questions and comments. plus its hard to miss an entire row of large houses, and the events that greeks throw right in the middle of campus

You won’t notice it if you don’t join. It’s 4.3% (just over 3k students of almost 70K student body) of UCF’s enrollment. The houses are on a part of campus you never have to go and the 3k represents all 48 different Greek organizations (not what you’re picturing when you think of rush). Several organizations are very small in number but even the largest (a handful of Panhellenic sororities) are only 150 members.
It doesn’t hurt to check it out and go through recruitment. You’re not obligated to join unless you accept a bid, but no, you will not miss out on the college experience if you don’t join. There are other clubs and organizations that are more involved on campus.
