Whitman College is a private institution that was founded in 1883. Campus activities are a big part of student life at Whitman College, a liberal arts institution in the rural small town of Walla Walla, Washington. Students come out in droves for intramural sports - about 70 percent compete on some team - and Greek life. Though the school only has a handful of sororities and fraternities, about a third of the student body is involved in the Greek system. About 20 percent of students compete on the Whit varsity sports teams, all members of the NCAA Division III Northwest Conference.
The student-faculty ratio at Whitman College is 9:1, and the school has 70.7% of its classes with fewer than 20 students. The average freshman retention rate, an indicator of student satisfaction, is 85%. (https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/wabash-college-1844)
