[quote=Anonymous]Huge generalizations about the Greek experience.

I went to a state school that didn't have much cohesive spirit.  Not a big sports powerhouse or anything like that.

I rushed my sophomore year after realizing that most of the campus leaders were Greek across all activities.  President of the student body was greek.  Editor of the school paper was greek.  Many of the residence hall assistants were greek.  The kids who were most active and invested in the school seemed, for the most part, to be part of the greek system.  For me it was a good networking opportunity rather than being one of the masses of un-engaged students.

Rush Week, at least for sororities, wasn't all full of keg parties and hazing.  They were nice affairs, followed by a pledge period that really had no hazing at all.  And, of my freshman year friends who joined other sororities, I only heard of one house that had any sort of minimal hazing.

Parties with alcohol for the next few years? Of course, among greeks and independents alike.

Greek life has gotten a hugely bad name, but it is not uniformly bad or evil or about buying friends.[/quote]
