My school is a sub-variant of the second group. Sororities are unrecognized and unhoused, so many students are only dimly aware that they exist. If a Greek's affiliation comes up in conversation with a non-Greek, she'll almost apoligize for it ("Yeah, I'm in Delta Gamma -- it's not really like a sorority though, we mostly do charity fundraisers and stuff.") Most women wouldn't rush if their lives depended on it because sororities are seen as anti-feminist, absurdly backwards, and generally counter to what the university is about. The culture of the school is that in your free time you ought to be writing speeches for Hillary Clinton or composing symphonies or starting up a dot-com, not (shocked, contemptuous stare) rushing a sorority.

IvySpice, that sounds just like my school. The only difference is that we're recognized.
