Re: "great" greek schools

Great to see you back Erik. Been thinking about you and hope you're doing well!

Syracuse
 

My campus got an A. I'm a little surprised but seems about right. We have around 1300 sorority members. We have 11 sororities and 600PNM's went through recruitment last year (numbers have risen every year) and only about 30 ended up dropping out of recruitment or didn't receive a bid. The last time we lost a chapter was five years ago, but panhel invited another to come into the system.

However, I wonder if greek life will be as strong as the university continues to outbid for properties on greek row.

All right!!!!

U of A (where I was initiated) got an A-, but ASU (where I graduated) got a B-.

Hey, I'm happy, could have been worse. ;)

Although I'm surprised ASU only got a B- because just about 700-800 PNM's go through formal. But Crow is a bit (not much though) more supportive of greek life than Likens. (Now this is completely what I've heard through the grapevine from greeks on both campuses and plus my perceptions of Crow while I completed my last semester at ASU).

Good to see Denison on the list!

You guys, there's this amazing thing called "reading comprehension" -- you should work on that. The very first line of the first post says that this was based on students' votes, thus the entire criteria is how the school's students view their Greek systems. If the students are happy with it (which I'm guessing usually means a fairly large number of chapters, good parties/events that are open to the whole campus, minimal rules from the school, fairly good Greek/GDI relations or at least little Greek spillover to the rest of campus), it will probably receive a higher grade. There is no scientific criteria for this rating. It's not determined by experts, or pseudo-experts. It's just based on students' votes.

It didn't surprised me about Case Western Reserve University being on the list. Their Greek System is pretty solid.

Re: Best schools for Greek Life...according to students
 

I don't think they have greek life.

Some of the schools listed as N/A don't have Greek Life, I know Vassar doesn't.

I would guess that's why it's not applicable.

Why have them in the list at all then?

i started at the bottom expecting it to be near there, but we got an A-... what I want to know is this based on the whole student population, or the greek life population

Because their site tells about the "top 210 US colleges" and rates them all in all the categories.

What jackass decided to omit George Mason University from this list entirely?

Granted, our Greek system could use some work but it's still fairly developed. Why we weren't put on the 210 at all really bugs me.

#1 most diverse school in the country
roughly 30,000 students
Excellent law school, economics program with nobel prize winning professors, #6 I/O Psychology graduate program in the nation...

and, we're getting a full-service Damon's Grill (sports restaurant/bar) in that'll be open in October. That's just plain cool.

Dude, you live on top of DC and you're excited about a DAMON'S? That's whack.

WHACK!!

Now this is getting serious isnt it?:D
