Yes but, if you are interested in Student Government, athletics, at Alabama you better pay attention to the Greeks. Very few SGA Presidents and major office holders have EVER been non Greek. There is this thing called The Machine...if you are interested in a future in polictics, being in a Machine fraternity or sorority there is almost a must. And yes, check wiki for The Machine- University of Alabama. Several former governors were SGA Presidents there....
And please, for heaven's sake, don't tell me how awful, dumb, whatever that may be because I have no control. I'm just the messenger. It's there, it exists, learn to live with it.
