The whole process makes me cringe.  Why not just make friends with the other people in your dorms and/or classes?  I've never understood the need to be "selected" or "worthy" of someone's friendship.  Yuck.[/quote]

It's really shameful.  I think the Ivies did away with them a long time ago, and everyone else should have by now.  It's the worst kind of elitism and the very worst of the high school cliques made official.  I dropped out of rush as soon as I saw what it was all about (and because my parents said a sorority was too expensive anyway), and was so disappointed that all my new friends kept going and eventually joined different sororities. We had a great group of friends, but after that everyone went their separate ways, since sororities discouraged friendship outside the house.  None of them ever spoke to me again.  It was a miserable four years, so needless to say I am not well-disposed toward the Greek system.[/quote]

The ivies have not done away with Greek life. Dartmouth is famous for it. Penn, Cornell and Columbia all have Greek life. Yale, Harvard and Princeton have eating clubs and societies. Don't know about Brown. [/quote]
