Greek schools

Talking in circles will not make me back off.

It's obvious that we are two different people.

I've talked to people in real life about greek system, I'm just also talking about it online.
I'm not focusing on anything wrong at this point, and no need to explain to you my personal life... and think it's ridiculous that just because I've asked such a question I'm now not focusing on graudating, future job etc...

I guess those of us who have graduated from high school, joined Greek organizations, and graduated from college have no idea what we're talking about. Disregard everything we've said. We are making up answers as we go along.

With your time online it seems more like you ( if your a college student, or what you may claim ) may not be focusing on the right things as you should... such as schooling and not online social chats that I wouldn't have as much time to do in college as you yourself do and other rude posters.

Actually have stayed on this site a little longer than planned, and now need to sign offline.

Maybe I can read more decent answers tomorrow.

Quoting my post again? Guess you weren't finished.

Actually, I've graduated, kiddo. Nice try.

Again, I like how you, in your infinite knowledge, already realize how college and the Greek system works, yet you're still asking us for advice.

Sorry, I just had to get rid of that blemish on my screen. Ew. Michigan.

I have a list of universities I'm looking at already, and top choices as well...

I'm not really going to keep explaining myself, from all the recent questions I got back it has most likely already been answered in a previous post of mines on this thread.
This thread was intended for you ( as greekchat.com users) to answer the question. If that can be done, and if all you have an urge to do is critize etc... then again your comment isn't welcome here.

I agree with KS in that your posts leave the appearance of someone who doesn't really care about academics.

Plus, people here aren't big fans of ranking Greek Systems, chapters at a school, etc.

I also think you would have gotten a much different response (Note: with the exact same answers) if you had been more polite (Exhibit A: http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...d.php?t=101788 ).


And P.S. The reason we all assume you care MOST about Greek Life in a potential college: your very own posts have led us to this conclusion. It wasn't an outright assumption.

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.

Here's a thought and assuming that you really do seek information about Greek life at midwestern colleges/universities, perhaps you should be more specific for us GCers and ask for information about Greek life at 3-5 of the schools you are already considering? We cannot guess exactly what you are looking for as far as academics (aside from a pre-med program) nor have we a clue to your desired location or academic budget when it comes to a school. Perhaps you tell us where you are considering attending in 18 months and GC may be able to set you up with informed Greeks from those specific schools.

Can we got over stuipid drama and ctually reply tot he post. I have only seen to or three posts that actually gave an answer. If you looking for great schools with great greek systems: Ole Miss, Alabama, UGA, Texas, SMU, Auburn, Florida State. You could make arguements for many more but the thing is they are all in the south. Greek life in the South is dfferent than anywhere else. If you get the chance to check out any of the schools listed please do and good luck!

Thank you - this is what I was thinking. OP, give us the list of schools you're considering for academic reasons and we'll tell you what we think of their greek systems, if they have one.

When she says "we'll tell you what we think" she does NOT mean "we'll rank them."

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