Coming from a campus similar to MIT, I always thought it was incredibly refreshing to get out of the pressure cooker environment where everyone was so cut throat and grade-conscious. Sorority life offered a much needed respite. My sisters were so much fun to hang out with, but we understood that school came first and supported each other. I'll always remember the day that I came home from taking a major standardized exam to get into professional school. While I was out, my room had been plastered in post-its from my sorority roommates, who had written words of encouragement on them! People laugh at Elle Wood/Legally Blonde and her sorority holding her hand through the LSATs, but I am living proof that it happens all the time, even at the brain trust ivory tower institutions!! Greek life has a place at every school, if only given a chance to make it.
