It's all going to depend on the campus and Greek life scene. The campus that I advise a chapter at has a very active Greek life with generally positive influences in all the chapters. I can't think of one chapter that is something other than what they "market" themselves as being during fall recruitment. Also, our recruitment is formal but not all that competitive and pre-conceived notions do tend to influence upperclassmen (at least on my campus) because freshmen just don't know any better. I would also say that the greatest majority of PNMs on my campus are freshmen (85%?) so it not our campus culture to sit around and wait a semester or a year to find out where you think that you might belong. By sophomore year, most Greeks at my school are actively involved leaders in their organizations.
