I think it absolutely matters for most people. Where I went to school, a large university, I could have had a great time not being greek, but I wanted to experience the southern greek life I'd always heard about. Other examples...If I had went to Georgia Tech (where many of my HS friends went), I'd of absolutely gone greek like they did. It is a school where academics are the main focus, and to be blunt, many students there lack social abilities. Thus, if you're an intelligent kid from the area, and want a great education and to have a good time, you don't have too many other options. On the opposite side, if I went to a school like UCF or FSU, I probably would refuse to rush, as the fraternities there are completely different from what I would like to be a part of. Schools tend to have a greek system which although containing different organizations, share many similarities. Thus, I think its possible to end up at a school where the greek system may be completely wrong for you, despite your ability to fit in well at another school's.
