[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Twelve pages of almost pure ridiculousness with a few droplets of sanity sprinkled in.
 
The fact is, if you don’t go Greek, it’s basically a coin toss whether you’ll look back on college with fond memories or as a lonely four years.
 
Fraternity men and sorority women, in contrast, almost universally love their college years. [b]They’re the gods and goddesses of campus, they get into the best parties, have the best dating options, and land the best jobs and business opportunities after graduation.[/b]
 
Check out Greek Row on homecoming weekend. Look at the Bimmers filling the parking lot and notice how many alums from 10, 20, even 30+ years ago are back in their old houses, living it up with their brothers like they never left. Those bonds run deeper than anything that forms in a classroom or dorm.[/quote]

What school is this?

Most of the top schools do not have this sort of dynamic.
Aside from Dartmouth and probably Cornell, I don't think joining a fraternity/sorority is particularly consequential.

You can just ignore our resident frat members as gods poster.  They appear on every Greek thread. No one can figure out if they are actually pro-Greek since they do such a good job of making Greek life into such a negative. [/quote]

So true!  Every time that old frat bro posts I thank my lucky stars that I never had to deal with that nonsense and my own kids don't either.  He's not exactly a great spokesman for Greek life![/quote]
