IE - he's not in grad school considering transferring. He's presumably in the back end of his undergrad considering various grad schools.
I don't know if someone else did, but I never said Top U to Podunk U. I said Podunk U to Podunk U or Top U to Top U. There is very little that in way of degrees or universities that you can't find another equivalent alternative to, in this case an alternative that would offer the greek opportunity he's looking for.
Education in general though is what you make of it. The vast majority of people I know are not working in the field of their undergrad degree, or they have a grad degree in the area. Maybe only a handful of my friends I can think of, and they're engineers & GIS type folks where there it's a requirement in the door but not necessarily a huge need to get a grad degree cause it's mostly on the job development.
In terms of where someone goes to school, just like your GPA, that matters maybe to get your first job out of school. After that it's work experience. And either way it's interviewing skills. There's no way I would go into massive debt for an ivy league name a piece of paper that doesn't matter all that much. Maybe there's some industries where that's not the case, but to me, the person is more important than the paper. Networking, being able to rapidly connect with people, having real leadership skills with peers/superiors/subordinate. Selling an employer on that stuff is bigger than how prestigious your education was.
