That's true. With the exception of Dartmouth and Cornell (both of which are in very small, isolated areas), the Greek scene is low-key--for various reasons Princeton and Harvard don't even publicly recognize their fraternities and sororities--Princeton has "eating clubs" and Harvard is on the "house system", which are supposedly Greek alternatives. Columbia and Penn are both in bigger cities where there might not be that big of a demand to go Greek. Brown is just weird. Monetarily and administratively, the school is very supportive of the Greek system--most of our prominent alumni are/were Greek, but the student body as a whole isn't very supportive.
Anyway, I'm not a legacy to any NPC groups.
Well, my daughter (if I have one) will be!
