Being a fraternity in the city is definitely a challenge. First off, when people get to school, they have Boston all around them, so the need to join a fraternity/sorority is not quite as strong. In addition, there's not really a campus at my school, so there's no Greek row or any of that. Makes it tougher for the Greek system to be really united.
However: it makes it even more satisfying when you are able to do such right, such as have a good rush and keep strong membership numbers. You work with what you have, and although the situation is less than ideal, we've tried our best to work well with it.

Same here, it's a lot of fun going to school in the city, although we do have somewhat of a campus, and it keeps expanding. On the other hand, like collin said, most of our greek org houses are scattered in the outlying neighborhoods because we don't have a "greek row/frat row." That is supposedly changing soon, but because we are in the city, greek life is also smaller because there are so many other things going on. And because there is so much going on, there is always something to do.
