And while you all can be high and mighty about "Choose your college by the academics blah blah blah" -- that's NOT what it's all about. I chose my first school for things like the academic programs and experiences and then ended up hating my social life. When I transferred, I ended up passing up a school that has a very strong program in my field (Beloit College) for one that has just an okay program (Wisconsin). Why? Because I knew that the social life would be more what I wanted at the UW -- and part of that included Greek life. The UW's Greek system is much larger than Beloit's.
Let's face it -- college is NOT all about the academics. Granted, I am one of those people who is more in college for the social stuff and life-forming experiences than the classes. But I don't see the point of even looking at a school that has no Greek system if, for example, you know that you want to join a sorority in college. To me, that's just as stupid as going to school that has no architecture major if you know you want to major in architecture.

AMEN!!!
I didn't get that she wanted and was choosing her schools only by greek life or whatever. When choosing a school you have lots of options you want to fullfill. One of her options is greek life. This is greekchat. So most of her questions here would revolve around only greek related conversations.
I don't know... it makes sense to me.
