Are we talking about applying or actually accepting? I mean, apply where you're interested and then once you get accepted, go visit. AFAIK you don't have to tell them the minute that you get your acceptance letter that is where you want to go. How much does it cost nowadays to apply anyway?

I think it's very important to choose a school with a strong Greek system if you're interested in that - just as it's important to choose a school with strong sports if you're interested in that or places that DON'T have those things if you don't want to participate in them. There's no sense in going to a school that has your dream major if it's heavily Greek and you want nothing to do with Greek life, unless you'll be happy being a hermit. By the same token, don't go to (example) Bama just for the Greek life if it doesn't have the major you want. There are so many colleges you can find one that suits you in everything if you try.
