One of my dorm floormates was turned off from greek life when he visited for campus preview weekend.

When my floormate arrived, he'd been paired with a host from Phi Kappa Sigma, who greeted him with an exuberant, "Hi, nice to meet you! I'll take you on over to Skullhouse." The term "Skullhouse" put him right off...
