school help
 

hey guys im looking to narrow down my college choices. im a senior in high school and jsut finished applying everywhere. i applied to arizona, alabama, michigan state, ole miss, south carolina, florida state, clemson, elon, miami of OH, oklahoma, and lsu. i was wondering which school has the best greek life. i am from the north so would it be better to stay away from the southern schools? if anyone has any insight on the greek/social life at these colleges please help me. i want a school with warm weather but im applying to some northern schools incase the southern thing is a bad idea. if you have any other recomendations for schools that would be helpful too

I really don't have the energy to bite on this...

Really.....

I recommend an appointment with your high school guidance counselor.

I recommend not making any decisions until you get some acceptance letters back. It's "all well and good" to choose based on Greek life, but there's no guarantee yet that you'll get into that school.

I would change your user name. You are not in a fraternity yet, and there is no guarantee you will be given a bid to join one regardless of where you go to school.

Have you actually visited any of these schools?

No. Greek life, if it enters the decision process at all, should be the last thing to come to mind. We have all heard stories of people who go to a certain school to go Greek, don't get a bid, and then transfer to another school.

I think she meant that once he gets accepted, if everything else is equal (which I'm guessing it sort of is) then Greek life can be the determining factor.

^Yes, this is what I meant. It's a moot point to be deciding anything (even comparing details of major programs, which should be the top priority) before knowing which universities sent acceptance letters.

1. See where you are accepted.
2. Compare programs for any majors you might be interested in. Narrow down the schools.
3. THEN look at things like campus life, Greek life, etc.

You obviously haven't been to Ohio in the winter....or early spring, or late fall. We have 4 seasons, just like SC, but they are: almost winter, winter, still winter, and construction.

Actually, most people would do #2 before #1.

Great, but he's already listed the schools he's applied to. Therefore, number two makes sense as number two.

Thank you for making me laugh out loud in the middle of class...this is too true!
