[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was in a sorority at a big ten school in the early 90s.  That scene was so dumb I didn't even make it a year. I went to one football game and was super bored, surrounded by whoo hoos.  I liked drinking as much as any college student but the purpose of greek drinking wasn't connection (with friends or with guys) but an excuse to show off and feed their bodies - all I can say to explain is that beneath the whole thing was gluttony.  I left greek life after a year but struggled to find a group of people till I met close friends/fellow students working at a nearby bookstore and coffeeshop.

You had greek life - never an interesting conversation ever.  You had an active on campus Christian ministry  - but I wasn't Christian. These were the biggest groups.

Not a great place for smart, wannabe interesting kids to meet others like them. I wasn't particularly academic though I made good grades- just smart and wanting something more  out of college than this school could offer.

💯

Though I think big10 has a lot more ivy rejects than pac12 or sec.

Sec / pac12 kids really want to be at their schools in a way I find big10 kids don’t.

Esp kids at big10 honors schools - virtually all would leave for an ivy / t20 slot

Your story isn’t dissimilar from what I’ve heard from other big 10 school grads. The median passion the big 10 alum has is just not the same as sec or pac 12 [/quote]
