Clicky Poll: College girls
Let's hear more about your college days![Poll]
Re: Clicky Poll: College girls
I voted 'no, it didn't appeal to me'
I had absolutely zero interest in Greek life.?
I voted "other." I went to a small, private, liberal arts college that had an adjacent campus to four other small, private colleges. Between the five of us, I think there were like three all-male fraternities and one co-ed one. You could definitely say Greek life was not a big deal. They did not throw the best parties, they were all sort of lame.
That said, a lot of my friends in the dance department were in the one co-ed frat, so I did hang out with them a lot. I certainly didn't need them for socialization, though.

I voted No-other
They weren't a big deal at my college
I voted no appeal, the sororities at my college were not nice, and they all ended up hating each other so i was not very interested.

I voted other - there were none on my campus. Although if given the oprion I still probably wouldn't have joined, they just wouldn't appeal to me.
I did data a guy in a frat though (well, I was in grad school, but he still played a big part in his frat). So many differences between him and DH.

My deep dark secret has been revealed!
I joined a sorority in the fall of my sophomore year (I rushed in spring of my freshman year but got really sick and couldn't go to any events for the rest of the year). I left in the middle of spring of sophomore year. I wasn't particularly interested, but I didn't want to have regrets and greek life is something you can only do when you're in undergrad. So I tried it. I found it really hard to really connect with the girls and overall just thought it was a stupid waste of time and money.

Other, we didn't have any.
Other.
I was in a co-ed community service fraternity. It's how I met one of our groomsmen, who is now engaged to my maid-of-honor! I liked it because (1) it was dry, which meant no drinking/pressure to drink, (2) the focus honestly was on community service -- there was a quarterly hour requirement that you had to meet in order to stay a voting memeber in good standing, (3) it was co-ed, and (4) we didn't have a "house" or anything, so fees were less than other Panhellenic groups.
I liked some of the philosophies of Greek Life, but I hated most of it -- I watched two of my friends rush freshman year, and I couldn't/wouldn't do it to myself. That's why I'm so happy I found the one I did.
Oh, and P.S. -- Leigha12 is my "fraternity brother" -- same org, different chapter.
Well I was (er am for life i guess) a Kappa Alpha Theta and LOVED it. I didn't care either way at first, but because i went to such a southern school is just what everyone does, so I rushed.
It really helped turn a huge state school (42,000 people) into a small, manageable size. I made wonderful lifelong friends--both inside my sorority and within the greek community.
Plus, I first actually talked with DH at an event between my sorority and his fraternity, so we owe a lot to Delt and Theta! We were both VPs of our chapters, so we may force our poor kids to go greek since we had such great experiences...
