Hi there! You're right, Greek life can be a significant aspect of college life for many students. While the percentage of participation may fluctuate slightly over time, some colleges and universities are known for having a strong Greek presence. Here's a list of some schools with high Greek life participation:

1. Washington and Lee University: Approximately 75% of the students are involved in Greek life.

2. DePauw University: Greek organizations include about 70% of the students.

3. Wabash College: Roughly 65% of the male undergraduate population participates in Greek life.

4. Dartmouth College: About 60% of eligible students are involved in Greek organizations.

5. University of Alabama: Around 45% of the undergraduate population participates in Greek life, with a higher percentage in sororities than fraternities.

Keep in mind that the culture surrounding Greek life can vary significantly between different schools. Some campuses might have a more competitive or exclusive atmosphere, while others are more focused on service and leadership development. If Greek life is an important factor for you, visiting the campuses and talking to current students can provide valuable insight into what the experience is like at each institution. Additionally, considering factors such as the presence of a variety of Greek organizations and whether the college has a deferred or early recruitment process may help inform your decision.

I hope this information helps you in your college search process!
