Personality and Greek Life

[_Q_]

At a previous school, I was in a sorority and it wasn't the best experience. The other members weren't bad people; it just wasn't a good fit for me.

It seems like some personalities are more compatible with Greek life than others. This isn't a slam, just a neutral statement. For example, there was one thread that talked about what exactly members were going to wear for Rush (and in some cases, how they had to decorate their rooms). To me, this seems strange - why would people want to expend time and money on something like this? To many GC'ers, it probably makes perfect sense.

Would it be good to help PNMs understand up front whether Greek life really is for them? It seems like there are a number of members and pledges who end up dropping, so I'm not alone. For example, if you'd resent mandatory meetings or occasionally being told how to dress, sorority life may not be for you.
