The kids who usually fail are girls from Dallas/Fort Worth who come into his office hours and cry because they've never really been forced to do their own work before and skated by as student council president or head cheerleader or whatever. And the guys who go Greek.

I just have to do a quick shout out for the guys who are Greek at UT.
Every one I know, or know of, is doing extremely well - the cumulative GPA for my son's pledge class was around 3.4, with many pulling 4.0's. Most of the guys that my son hangs with in his fraternity are in the business school, and are either in business honors or are applying/accepted into the MPA program - so no dummies there.
I'm not arguing that going Greek won't be a detriment to some, but it isn't always the case. Kids who know how to manage their time and take care of business will be fine, those who don't will struggle (whether they are Greek or not).
Work hard/Party hard is the tried and true method for success!
