Did Where You Went To School Play A Part Of Going Greek?

[PhiMuAmberkins]

I grew up in a town with NO greek life prescence, and go to a small college with only 2 NPC Sororities (Alpha Xi Delta, Phi Mu) and 3 Fraternities (Zeta Beta Tau, TKE, and Kappa Sigma). I think I would have gone greek anywhere I went, just because I've always wanted to, and I think it's a great experience. I probably would have gone a lot earlier at a larger school with a more flourishing greek system, but that's about the only difference.

I was actually going to wait until I go to University of Arkansas for grad school, because grad students can rush there (so I was told, correct me if I'm wrong!) and they have a larger amount of sororities to choose from. But I found my home right here! There isn't a Phi Mu chapter there, so I'm glad I found my place...although it would be nice to have one up there too, so I could be around my sisters all the time!

I grew up in a town with considerable Greek Life (around Marshall University), and I would always drive past the houses and wonder what went on inside. When I was in HS and looking at colleges, I didn't look at Greek Life at all. When I came to my current school, I did look at going Greek, as there's not much to do in a rural town.

You have been misinformed about Arkansas! Rush at UA is southern and extremely competitive. You would have trouble getting a bid as a sophomore, let alone a grad student. We are colonizing there because all but one chapter are WAY above campus total.
