[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of the anti-Greek people on here actually sound a little childish to me. I'm a happily married, 1%er, two kids, two careers, yada yada, and if anything, life has only gotten MORE like Greek life as I've gotten older and more successful.

Success at work is more about how well you navigate politics, not just your expertise or education level.

It IS in fact about who you know and how you present yourself.

Even in academia, it's not just about your work, it's about appealing to the department head, raising money, getting on the right institutional committees etc.

There are people who take it all to a ridiculous extreme, but there are also real, useful skills that can be acquired by successfully navigating the Greek system. Ones that will serve you well in the workforce.

I disdain the southern Greek life vibe, but you have a point.

I intentionally picked a LAC without Greek life since I was done with the high school girl drama.  I had a wonderful few years, did well in my career after, but the past 10 years has been an eye opener and agree that who you know/your social IQ has a lot more weight than your technical skills as you advance… if I think I would chose to do Greek, but not at a southern school. Much harder to acquire those skills and connections now.[/quote]
