Do you find Greek Life has created a bubble around you?

[lifesaver]

I ask this because while we meet many new people through recruitment and contact with other chapters, we bring in new members, and socialize generally (at leats I do) kinda with the same kind of people, all the time. Its just the kind of people we (as greeks, at least me it seems) are all kinda the same. Example, middle/upper middle class, degreed or degree seeking, involved in their university, volunteer oriented, love to party, can put down a few drinks, always out for a nite on the town, get a kick outta formals, etc and generally all have the same kinda goals in carrear and life.

I'll admit, I can hang with almost anyone. Hell, I have a friend / former co-worker who is a 48 year old woman who just got her citizenship and was born and raised in Bangladesh. (It doesnt get any more different from my background than that.) But I sometimes feel like I am very different from soemone who is not greek, or collegate, or alumni. Not better than them, but very different.

I guess what I am saying is that when I am in that situation, it seems to be very clear to me that greek / college life can be very insulating when it is / has been / was your primary socialization outlet. Yeah, your friends might be diverse, socially, economically, religiously, but youre all still kinda the same? Does this make any sense?

Anyone else wonder about this at times?
