[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't forget rushing. Greek members have higher GPAs, graduation rates, and starting salaries than independents. They dominate leadership positions on campus and often control the social scene.

Even if the Greek participation rate at a school seems low, that low percentage of students has outsized importance on campus and ends up with the best opportunities. If more than 20% of the student body is Greek, forget about staying independent and having a robust college experience and social life, especially if you're male.

People will respond "that's silly, 80% aren't Greek" but when you strip from that 80% the nontraditional students, commuters, shut-ins, antisocial weirdos, and straight-up dorks, you're left with almost no one to socialize with and certainly no high-quality dating prospects. Trust me, you want to rush.[/quote]

Dh and I met in college. Neither of us were Greek. We are happily married and some of my friends who were in sororities are miserable and/or divorced already. It’s certainly not causation that they are miserable, but don’t assume that “dorks” are antisocial, unsuccessful, and unhappy. What a limiting viewpoint you have. I encourage you to expand your horizons before you pass that elitist viewpoint onto your who may not be (gasp) as cool as you were, then they feel like they dissapointed daddy just by being their true self.
