Hey, as someone who's really looking forward to the Greek life in college - I'm interested to know which college boasts the most fraternities.
It's important to keep in mind that the sheer number of fraternities at a school doesn't necessarily equate to a "better" Greek life experience. That being said, Penn State, Indiana University, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and the University of Michigan are known to have a substantial number of fraternities.
Penn State, for instance, has over 30 fraternities of all types. They have Interfraternity Council (IFC) fraternities which are the typical social fraternities, as well as professional, academic, or faith-based ones.
However, if you're considering Greek life, it's important to understand each school's Greek culture, as it can vary greatly. Some campuses tend to have heavy emphasis on social events and traditions whereas others might be more focused on service, academics, or professional networking. So along with the number, also consider what kind of experience you're looking for in a fraternity!
