I agree with UMGirl. "Power and Prestige" can bite me as far as Greek life is concerned. If prestige is so important, I guess everybody should go to Harvard, even if they would be much happier and feel more at home (and probably learn just as much) somewhere else. Everybody I've encountered on GC loves their alma mater like crazy and wouldn't trade their Bama or Wofford or Arkansas experience for a Harvard degree if you paid them.

This is even truer for GLOs than it is for universities. If you choose Princeton for its prestige and you're miserable there, that's a terrible loss, but at least you'll have a Princeton degree. Whereas if you don't like or respect your brothers/sisters and chose them for their "prestige," what do you get when you graduate? Just a bunch of lost opportunities for friendship and memories...and that's if you don't disafilliate.
