[quote=Anonymous]Many people generalize. They do not seem to understand that “Greek life” looks very different depending on the school.

At some schools, members of Greek orgs live together in houses. Some off campus, some on campus. At other schools, they don’t live together at all. It’s more like an EC club or activity, like many others.

At some schools, Greek orgs feel like the focus of campus social life, no matter the percentage of students who actually pledge and stay affiliated. At other schools, they’re more low-key. Again, one activity among many.

At some schools, the Greek orgs have strong “brands” - a general “type” they recruit and publicize on social media. At other schools, they’re Greek orgs are more diverse on a number of variables, and more open / less selective, too.

Finally, all this applies to individual campuses, too. For every social media savvy group of fraternity or sorority kids who seemingly all look alike, there are low key fraternities and sororities on the same campus for those who prefer that.

One size does not fit all. And like all other campus activities, it’s best to approach it with curiosity and an open mind. If joining a Greek orgs feels like a fit, great. If not, keep looking for a group or activity that does.
