[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Notice the trend: Most of the "yes" answers are coming from parents of kids in Greek life. I saw the same thing when my own kid came home for Christmas break as a freshman and reconvened with his high school buddies. The fraternity men were dishing story after story about college life and what a great time they were having. The GDIs were still reminiscing about high school and longing for the good old days.[/quote]

The  freshmen who are having a tough time socially it seems are the ones where the Greek system is huge because those schools tend to not be "bar schools" and the only thing to do on the weekend is frat parties. Also very hard for freshmen to get into those parties unless you're a girl and you know someone or you're a boy and already in one (most freshmen boys aren't and at the most, they're in the miserable pledge/hazing stage).  So lesson learned, if you want an active social life that are more than just frat parties, don't go to a school where Greek life dominates. [/quote]
