To add to that, depending on where you live (esp. if you're a suburbanite) you have gone to the same elementary, same middle, and same HS as all of your friends. You've been in cheer, dance, student council, etc. with the same 4-5 BFFs. When you leave that comfort zone for college, your standby friendships aren't there anymore.

Many times, students look to Greek Life to sort of instantly recreate that.

That typically leads to the "OMG it's been 2 weeks and no one is my BFF yet!!!!" post here on GC.

They just aren't used to making friends. Suzie has been friends with her 5 BFFs since 4th grade. When is the last time she actually had to make an effort to get to know anyone?
