Frequently on GC, I see women claim that even without Greek life, you can have a fabulous experience at ABC University. I have seen this scenario replayed many times in the last 14 years, as you can guess, when women were cut from recruitment. The ones who didn't try again or stopped after 2 tries often joined other big-deal clubs like cheerleading or football recruiters.
Not a one of them was pleased with her total college experience. *Every single one* whom I know has told us that she yearned to be Greek the whole 4-5 years and wishes she has transferred.
I realize that some people will now get on here and talk about the fabulous experience you can have without being Greek. Sure, for some people. But if most of your family and friends are Greek, if you've always dreamed about it, if you know you'll always wish you could've pledged, and you can get just as good an education elsewhere...go!

Well said carnation our whole family is Greek and IU WAS the only university with the exact program my daughter wanted- a science (kinesiology) degree WITH dance- it's VERY VERY difficult to be admitted to this program with its audition admission process as well as having to get into IU at the same time- as an IU-of-stater we pay and it's fine because if what IU offers - that being said from a family if Greeks and many very active alum she WANTS to be greek AT IU and that won't be satisfied by a club membership - so we are still hoping for a COB
