Southern California.
So, your question is: Why does my University culture and belonging mean so much to me? Simply because I was raised without much of an identity and never had very many friends or close ties to bind with, even now. I've always wanted to belong to an organization.
What do you mean by stated age? Are you wondering why I'm 28 and so stuck on Greek Life? I don't have an answer for that question. I really don't.
I'm making an effort to move on now.

What I don't get is the zealotry you're expressing and espousing, and the infatuation bordering on obsession with Greek life. It's incongruous with your stated age.
Don't tell me that what you're describing (or attempting to articulate) is unique to the Wolf Pack. It's not. It may be your first experience with college culture, but it's Not All That.
