I just don't understand what the problem is with this. There are a lot of great colleges out there with great degree programs. So if you pick one that has a greek system because you want to experience greek life as a part of your college experience, why is that so wrong? If the argument is that people should only go to school to get an education, then we are all wrong for becoming a part of sororities, fraternities, and all other clubs/groups for that matter while we're in college.
Many people want a complete college experience or what they think is a complete college experience, which is why you have people that don't live too far from their school still choosing to live on campus. I just don't think that those who are greek (knowing what their orgs have added to their lives) should just tell people to basically just "get an education and don't worry about anything else" which is basically what people are really saying. That's not right.
To the poster, if you have your pick of great schools and you know you'd like to be greek, then choose a school with a greek system. There's nothing wrong with this. So what!
