[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The pro-Greek responses here do your case no favors. You sounds like an ass. [/quote]

I’m embarrassed reading them and hope they are young kids somehow. I posted about my positive experiences and kids that thankfully have no interest. The lack of tact on this thread is staggering. [/quote]

DP. Totally agree. I was in a sorority, and enjoyed it, but my DC had zero interest in rushing. He's a bit of an introvert at a heavily Greek university and I did have a bit of fear he would feel left out socially, but, on the other hand, I was greatly relieved that he didn't do it. It's worked out so well -- he's a rising Junior with a great group of friends and is having a wonderful college experience.

It seems a lot of kids are attracted to the Greek system because of what they see on social media, and from what I hear, things have changed quite a bit, and not for the better. When I was in college, the frats were known to haze, but it just wasn't done at the sororities. On DC's campus, the sororities are as likely to be thrown off campus as the guys for hazing, and it's not tightened enforcement -- it's the result of kids being injured because of excessive drinking, etc. [/quote]
