I'm pursuing a career in Higher Ed as well. The field is becoming increasingly popular, and consequently, competitive. I wouldn't recommend it, especially if you're interested in Greek Life which in my experience has some of the most competitive assistantships, not to mention job postings. For example, I was told that almost 90% of the participants in GARP at South Carolina last year applied for one graduate assistantship in Greek Life.
The American College Personnel Association has some great resources for programs that you should look into as a starting point for your research.
