Which Greek system would you want to join?

[DGTess]

What I've learned of other/today's greek systems I've learned from GC over the years, and I can honestly say my 17-year-old self nor today's self would be willing to put up with the rush process, even at a laid-back school.

My 17-year-old self because a sorority was simply not a priority at that time, and my today self because of the structure and rules (I never heard of a green book when I was in school).

I look at the emotional turmoil people put themselves through - sometimes when it's not even their own rush - and simply cannot imagine it. I strive for empathy, but it ain't there.

I agree to a point. I find the hyper-competitive recruitments endlessly fascinating, but I would not go through one nor would I actively encourage my daughter to attend a school that had a recruitment like that. The more laid-back recruitments at smaller colleges and places where Greek life is not the be all and end all of life are more my style.

I'm really thankful that all the NPC groups choose to locate on a wide variety of campuses to offer many women the opportunity to enjoy sorority sisterhood.

It would be interesting to know what percentage of national volunteers in the NPC groups come from the uber-competitive campuses and what percentage come from the others.
