Welcome to the Ivy League, where they like to be a bit more like Oxford or Cambridge.
I understand that they may be older - but the article talks trash about fraternities and sororities.... when it's essentially the same thing. Of course, this is the only school with these clubs (that I'm aware of, correct me if I'm wrong), they are essentially like a local organization, so the benefit of an alumni association wherever you go is not always there, and some people have never even heard of them. I know I sure hadn't not until it was posted on this thread yesterday.

There are benefits to being greek, and I just think it's really snooty of the article to bash greek life, when, as someone else already said, it's very similar. Seriously whats the difference? other than being co-ed....
