I have an Af-Am friend who goes to Princeton and she says Greek Life isn't a big deal there - their eating clubs are a MUCH bigger deal.

Eating clubs may be a MUCH bigger deal at the school, but certainly not in the community at large. African Americans and their various organizations, including sororities and fraternities, have much more important things to do than boast that they can eat with a certain crowd. LOL

Whether or not that's entirely true, Hollander said, many administrators admired what black Greeks were doing on campus, and were less than enthusiastic about the rowdiness of their white counterparts.

"When I was master, some people, whether well informed or not, said to me that the administration . . . did not want to make frats 'illegal' partly because it felt the minority organizations were of a different order and character from the non-minority ones,'' Hollander wrote in an email.
