At Freshman Orientation for me this past summer there were two representatives of Greek Life, but the girl came off as ditzy and unprepared and the boy seemed like he had just rolled out of bed in both appearance and mannerisms. My mom (who was Greek) and I were both very unimpressed, and that played a big part in my originally unfavorable opinion of Greek Life. It took me a semester of seeing how involved the sororities were on campus before I decided that I wanted to join, and even now many of my non-Greek friends don't think well of Greek Life.
The North is a completely different animal, though; it's hard to tell kids to go Greek when many of them are going to schools that don't even offer Greek Life. I don't know how to approach that one. Many kids that I know of who've rushed do so because their family or older friends were in it.
