Arkansas is a poor environment (if you must call it that) because it is a competitive Southern school. Greek affiliation is very competitive and that is complicated by the strong tradition of 'pledging where your mother pledged." So, I can see that as a difficult or negative aspect of the campus. But surely that is not more of a negative factor at Arkansas than it is at, say, Alabama or Florida.
Now, on the other hand, I do think that the panhellenic office/"powers that be" tend to have a negative influence on Greek Life. We struggle with leadership (not pan members but paid employees). And poor leadership has a negative impact on any organization.
