I did consider the presence of Greek life when deciding on which college to attend.

I wanted my education to extend beyond the class room. So the college experience I wanted (and received) needed to include, but certainly was not limited to, strong academics, a good social atmosphere, leadership potential, "big time" college athletics, an excellent fine arts department (not my major, but helps to round out the individual), strong alumni connections/support, as well as a "college town" lifestyle or culture within the local community - regardless of the size of the town. To be clear, academics was the primary consideration. But for lack of a better way of putting it, each area had some sort of minimum requirement that needed to be met. As it was, every campus I considered - from small private liberal arts colleges to big land-grant institutions - Greek Life was part of the campus culture.

Even as a legacy, the presence of a specific organization (or organizations - i.e. cousins' fraternities) was not as much of a factor in my decision as was the overall Greek system.
