She had a friend who was in one when they were in college, and according to my mom it "ruined" her friend's life. My mom said that when her friend joined, her grades dropped (I believe I was told the friend basically flunked out) because she was always doing sorority stuff, that her friend was always at these frat parties and there was tons of alcohol, things like that. She also says things like the oh-so-typical "you shouldn't have to pay for friends" line. I try to explain that that was one woman's experience, with one house, basically 20 years ago, but she doesn't seem to want to hear it.
