Does Penn guarantee housing for all four years? Sometimes I wonder whether or not Greek life is as appealing at some of the selective schools that do since the networking and housing part is already addressed. Retention at my undergrad was pretty low after the sophomore year, when you could get equal or better housing as an independent for the same cost.
