What age did you begin thinking about The Greek Life?

I just turned 17 about 3 weeks ago... and been thinking about becoming a part of the Greek Life since freshman year in high school.
I'm interested to see when, approximately, all of you began the thought of Greek Life.

Fourth grade was when I was first exposed to fraternity life; sixth grade was when I internalized it and knew it was something I wanted to pursue.

My mom was in a local sorority, and my uncle in a national fraternity, so I had heard about Greek Life when I was very young. It was only when older high school friends were coming home and talking about joining fraternities that I thought about it seriously.

Yeah, I hear family plays a big part as far as being introduced to it at a young age. I had to find out about it myself. I had always been interested, probably since 7th or 8th grade. Realized freshman year it was one of my biggest goals in life.

Like I've always said. If you can't dream, then whats reality.
I feel like greek life can be my fine line between the two

Around the beginning of my (high school obviously) senior year, was sure I was "going Greek" after my freshman orientation.

My freshman year.

Probably sometime in High school, but I don't remember when.

I just remember thinking "when I go to college, I wanna join a sorority." But I didn't know anything about national or local or anything. My mom was (and still kinda is) pretty anti-Greek.

Senior year of high school

I remember in high school thinking that it would be nice to join a sorority. Then as an incoming freshman, I received the rush booklet, and decided it was not for me. However, a few weeks into my freshman year, I met a girl who was interested in starting a Latina sorority. That's when I decided to pursue it.

About a month before recruitment started, so 18.

I started thinking about it in HS, sometime during junior year when I started going on college visits. My parents started to talk up Greek Life around that time.

Age 18 and three weeks prior to recruitment ... I had no clue!
