When was the best time to be a collegiate Greek?

It was definitely a good time to be Greek in the SEC and SWC. The anti-Greek sentiments weren't noticeable and Greek life was affordable. My dues were $13 a month! I don't know if sororities hazed elsewhere but they didn't where I was; it would've been ill-bred to haze.

Looks like I picked the wrong era.

early 80's.

The government didn't care much about hazing yet, dressed well, cocaine, and good music.

for me, nothing before the 70s. Before the 70s, I'd probably won't get a bid.

Not the 1970s! I pledged in the 1970s, and chapters were closing left and right. It was the age of the anti-establishment.

I say the best time to be Greek is NOW!!!
