[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I did not go Greek. They didn't have frats at his college, and I wasn't interested.

So far, our kids say that they don't want to. We've tried to keep an open mind and have told them that if they strongly feel ilke they would want to do it, we'd be fine with it. One of our kids is really shy, and I can see how it would help them, IF they could make it through rush. (They're also really cute and nice, but I'm not sure that's enough.) [/quote]

Not sure you are doing a very good job of keeping an open mind because of your use of the word "strongly".

I was in a fraternity.  Had a lot of fun but it probably isn't for my kid in college.  He isn't a partier.  I'm assuming fraternities still have a lot of drinking.  Maybe I am wrong.   My nephew was in one at a Big 10 school.  Refused to live in the house.  Wasn't into that scene.  He told them he would quit if they made him.  They let him live in apartment.  A friend has a kid at a small liberal arts college with D1 sports.  They think he "needs" to join a fraternity since he isn't a on a sports team.  They may or may not be right.  But I do see their point.

I think it is very kid and school dependent.[/quote]
