[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I pledged a fraternity and then de-pledged. My biggest issue with the Greek system isn't the costs involved or the craziness of rush. It's how the Greek system kind of steers you away from being involved in other things on campus. At my school, about 15 years ago, I was also working for the student newspaper and had a chance to cover a road basketball game for the first time. Great assignment. The fraternity was pissed at me because we had a party that night and I wasn't going to be around. That happened with 2-3 other club things I wanted to do that year, so ultimately, I concluded the fraternity wasn't for me.

My nephew is at a large state school now. He joined a fraternity. I asked him what kind of things he's involved with on campus and he said, "Not really anything. The fraternity takes all my time." He has a lot of interests, and I know his school has a lot of clubs related to those interests. I asked him if he's thinking about getting involved in this or that. "No, pretty much just the fraternity."

Overall, I think that's a big missed opportunity for kids. [/quote]

Our neighbor's daughter is involved in a sorority and [b]that is ALL she does[/b] - plan parties and silly events.  That's it.  My DD decided not to rush and has found herself involved in so many interesting activities as a result.  I am hugely relieved she didn't go Greek.[/quote]

does your neighbor know that you're stalking her daughter so much that you know everything she does?  does she also know you mock her?  I'll bet she's a much nicer person than you are.[/quote]

:lol:  No need to stalk her - my neighbor talks incessantly about her and all her sorority "doings" (planning parties and silly events).  I hear far more about that nonsense than I've ever wanted to.  But thanks for your concern![/quote]

Well you are one nasty and gossipy shrew that’s obvious.   And just because the girl’s mother talks that way doesn’t make it true.  Are you really THAT jealous of some college kid and her mother?  Why??[/quote]
