[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Joining a fraternity is the solution to the social challenges of attending an OOS public. The forced togetherness of pledgeship will help him forge bonds quickly and potentially assimilate into pre-existing friend groups (given that high school friends often rush the same house). Within 8-10 weeks, he'll go from being the awkward new guy that no one knows to being a god on campus who gets into the best parties and has the best girls wanting to date him. Statistically, he'll also have a higher GPA and better networking opportunities than if he remains a GDI.[/quote]

Ugh, this advice was the absolute wrong thing to convince me that OOS flagships are a good idea.  My DC is not the greek type.

Thanks so much for your response, though!  Very helpful.[/quote]

NP.  Ignore the PP.  They're trolling.  Most state schools - whether flagships or not - don't have the huge Greek focus that a lot of SEC schools (Alabama, etc.) do.  Mine attends one and didn't have any desire to go Greek.  Most don't.  And yet, there are tons of social opportunities.  Just google "Greek percentage" for the schools you're interested in.[/quote]
