"Best" Colleges and their Greek Systems

[agzg]

Penn State and Pitt come to mind for Northeastern State schools that carry a huge alumni following and for many programs are considered "one of the best" in the Northeast.

Of course, I like to think Penn State alumni are also some of the most annoying college grads on the planet, but that's just because I went to Pitt.

The VP and one of the directors of my department have degrees from Ivy League colleges (Harvard and Yale). I don't feel like it carries that much weight, particularly not in my field.

Now that I'm in the midwest, University of Michigan and University of Illinois carry a lot of weight around here.

Also the Northeast is the home of most of the "elite" old money institutions. But even at those institutions, which historically have been the bastion of Greek Life, less and less students are going Greek, with some exceptions of course.

Right but I'm talking more specifically about public institutions.

In terms of private, not-for-profit institutions (outside of the Ivy League), I can think of a handful more, including Syracuse University, University of Rochester, and a crap ton of the schools already on Sen's list.

I like my school. And we don't think you are annoying anymore (at least us current students with no games anymore to give us a rivalry)
We dislike Ohio State

Buttttttt all things aside if I was on the outside looking in... I could see how people would think our alumni are annoying. I've heard it referred to as "cult-like" lol

Penn State Alums have a TON of pride for their/our school. We're very proud of it, our football team & our personal experiences here.
WE ARE... PENN STATE!
