I love the Greek System here at Maryland! So, far AOII has been incredible, and I have a blast with lots of other houses. Things have been kind of shaky this semester (the social policy is under review and there have been some other situations) but we will come out on top. Under the circumstances, everyone has really come together, which can only make us stronger.
Among the sororities there are some stereotypes, but they are as shallow as the people who believe them and repeat them. All of the women I met during rush were awesome, and I can honestly say that I have friends in just about every house.
There are 35,000 people at this school, and only 10% of the students are greek, so obviously we may not be as visible, but we are by no means quiet. I see Terps proudly wearing letters everyday, and some of the most incredible programs on campus in the past year have been sponsered by GLOs.
For the person who was wondering about terpidiots, the university owns the right to the word "terp" so, the site got shut down. I'm friends with the guys who ran it, and they're working on a new site. It won't be the same, but I'm sure it will be awesome.
I'm alomost done rambling about Maryland, but no Terp can go out without saying 3 things:
1. Orange Bowl, January 2, 2002-- 20,000 Terps singing the "You Suck" song at the height of Fridge Fever-- the gators are going down!!
2. Duke Sucks.
3. F*%@ Zoom
