Social

Welcome, you've made it to the Surviving College Social Life section of Surviving College. The college social and partying scene is like an initiation into real college life. There are college parties, college clubs where they have lots of social events, college greek life (in which not all colleges are created equal), and of course, college drinking games.

We've got a lot of this covered, so you won't look like a n00b when you go to your first college social gatherings. Take a look at these starters:

• The pros and cons of joining a fraternity or sorority

• Drinking Games: How to Play Rage Cage

• Drinking Games: How to Play Quarters

• On Fraternity Parties

• And other drinking games: Kings Cup, Beer Pong, and Flip Cup
