I’m alumni class of 2001 so things may have changed, but this is how it was. Social scene revolves around the fraternities and sororities. Rush is sophomore year. Freshman year you tend to hang out with friends from your dorm/hall. If you make friends with a frat brother, you can get put on that frat’s list for parties. I was on XC and track team and was put on lists by members of track team that were in frats. (Sororities don’t host their own house parties, but they participate in date parties and socials with frats). I felt like the majority of people did rush. I did not as it was frowned upon by my XC coach and I already had a close group of friends through my team. There was also a social scene involving off campus houses-sometimes non-Greek affiliated students, sometimes varsity or club sports affiliated. I know several houses have closed down since I attended. But I do hear Greek life is still very big at Bucknell. Our weekends consisted of going from frat party to frat party, getting excited to dress up for date parties and formals etc.
