6. What are the positives/negatives of having Greek Life on your campus?
I really do not think there are any negatives at Ole Miss. Since Ole Miss' founding the Greeks have been a very big part in the University and the Traditions here. Greeks tend to be the most generous at Ole Miss, have the best grades, and stay for their entire academic time at Ole Miss. They are also more likely to donate after college to the University because they have a greater connection to the University through their sorority or fraternity.
