I almost typed out a long response to this, but then remembered who is from Pittsburg State.

LOL

Long responses are lost to the "Pittsburg State" defense.

You are powerless against my sharp wit.

^^^ I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt and assuming he meant since he got to high school (freshman year). I'm bored and want to keep this going

I wanted to be a doctor, too, ever since I was little. When I went to college I initially majored in pre-med and attended pre-med club meetings and picked my extracurriculars based on what would look good on my med school application.

The year I left college (2002) the national average for people getting into med school was 34% That means 66% of the kids that worked super hard and took all the hard classes and volunteered and played on the soccer team applied but didn't get in.

Unless you're set to graduate at the very top of your class, you might have trouble in college maintaining the kinds of grades you need if you're going to apply to med school.

Being in a fraternity or sorority AND getting into med school aren't impossible (we have lots of doctors on this forum to prove it!) but you're not going to have time for greek life if you're really dedicated to being a doctor and maintaining the highest possible grades. Especially if you're the kind of person (like me) who has to actually WORK for their grades - last minute cramming, all nighters, some tests where you don't do so hot.

Let me guess Golfer - you go to U of Alabama...

This is just my thought... but from what I understand, you have a fairly good idea of what schools you are considering applying to. So instead of posting on GC a question that's just going to give you a bunch of related/ not-so-related answers... why don't you just visit these schools and go see what their Greek community is like there? From experience, every campus has a little bit of a different feel even though they might share the same fraternity/ sorority and you're never really going to know what's right for you until you test out the waters yourself.

I really don't see the purpose of trying to get opinions on here cuz you KNOW you'll just get ripped apart or get very biased responses.


Kids these days... ya'll need to experience things the old fashioned way instead of trying to do it through the internet. (And I'm 24yrs old, so that statement totally made me sound older than I really am... haha)

idk... that's just my honest opinion. Don't hate.

I'm going to go ahead and hate because I don't recall anyone ripping him apart.

In fact, I think the first few responses were quite helpful:

And this:

Yes, we know there are rankings, but the opnions of those rankings never really change.

Somebody usually says "Oh cool, my school is on there!"

Then somebody else says "These people have NO CLUE what they're talking about, ________ University Greek system is clearly stronger than ________."

Then somebody points out that the rankings and methodologies used to create them are subjective.

And it goes around and around.

I believe he started this whole thing when he kept insisting on us posting our opiniosn, which we've said a MILLION times are totally subjective and not the best way to learn about Greek systems.

I think we're smart enough to know that the best way to learn about a school's Greek system is to VISIT. But he apparently doesn't know that.

The internets make it a whole lot easier for kids these days. When I was researching colleges 13-14 years ago, my bedroom closet was filled with college viewbooks I picked up at the college fair. I remember having to fill out a postcard and waiting 6-8 weeks for some of them to come.

Yep.

And you know how I had to find out about sororities? By actually meeting people in them. I didn't discover GC until right before COB so I couldn't very well go to it for rush advice.
