Lifestyles of the Greek or College Students in General

Something 33girl said struck me as being right on target:

"I think your daughter will find there's less peer pressure to do anything (sex, drinking, whatever) than there was in high school."

I'm not sure which "OSU" your screen name stands for (Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon), but I grew up in Columbus where we pretty much graduated socially from Middle School (Junior High at that time) to college -- attending parties, bars, street dances, etc. on the Ohio State Campus. There was a huge amount of peer pressure from high school friends to do "college" things instead of "high school" ones.

I think 33 is right. Socially, college was much more relaxed, at least for me, and I never expected to be in a fraternity. I just met a bunch of guys I really liked and got along with, and the rest, as they say, is history.

LOL, isnt that the whole idea of joining any club or group?

Finding people that you feel good with?

Peer preasure will be with all of our lives!

I agree too.

And, 33girl is probably right too that some things happened back then but you didn't hear about it as much. I also agree with her about why girls do some of the outrageous things that they do now and I feel badly that women haven't come further along than doing something outrageous sexually to attract the attention of men.
