Greek life good or bad?

Hey. So I'm considering going greek. I've heard a lot of good and bad about it. I read any intersting debate here: Frats good or bad?

But I can't seem to really get my finger on why I'm weary of joining a frat. Everyone says they are so good, great friendships etc. Any thoughts?

*rats*

I thought it was about ancient Greece, one of my favorite topics.

I have no input on this, I never joined one in college, but I bet others will offer some input.

Re: Greek life good or bad?

I have never experienced a frat. What exactly is meant by the term 'going greek'?

Re: Greek life good or bad?

I dunno but, at a pledge party where my brother was a senior member, he got tossed and broke his clavicle. The brute was a pledge, decided he had a great idea and picked him up and threw him down. Needless to say, that guy was banned. My brother probably deserved it though, he can be pushy. This wasn't a party frat either, it was a business frat.

Re: Greek life good or bad?

In England, going Greek means going to a Greek restaurant. Fortunately, I already know what a frat is. As for 'tossed', I just don't want to go there.

Re: Greek life good or bad?

I can't explain what going Greek means in Holland without incurring the wrath of the mods. Suffice to say that the term is well known in the red light district of Amsterdam. The working girls usually have a sign up in the window to tell customers whether this form of sex is an option.
