I'd really love to hear where this "very competitive New England/Mid-Atlantic recruitment" is. Mid-Atlantic might be possible, but New England? Really?

Dartmouth. Although if that's the vantage point she's coming from, she has NO clue what she's talking about (i.e., from what I've read, Greek life functions are open to everyone, not just Greek members). She lso fails to see that it's the administration, not the actives, keeping things "exclusive" by refusing to allow as many sororities as a Northern campus with a large amount of Greek interest could maintain. (That is...Northern schools usually have 15 chapters of 70 each as opposed to a Southern school with 7 chapters of 250 each.)

I would too! I grew up in New England, and I can't think of even one school that's "very competitive". I never heard anyone talk about Greek life EVER while I was growing up. I graduated from a high school that had nearly 4000 students, and I can only think of MAYBE 5 people I know who joined a social GLO.. And all but one of them are guys.

Greek life just isn't "a way of life" up there.

My 2 cents: The only really competitive school (from what I have heard talking to my cousin) that I can think of thats in New England is Cornell. She was really surprised how 'Southern' recruitment/greek life was there. Especially for an Ivy League school. But I'm not trying to imply that is in the same league as the SEC.

And again, that is competitive for a different reason - not because the women are 4th generation ABCs and all know each other from HS.

New York is not part of New England.
