I was in a Greek House, I loved it, as I am sure people that were not Greek loved being in Dorms or off campus. I had 21 new pledge brothers that I had never meet before in 1991, it is now 2009 and 18 of the 21 of us are still in yearly if not monthly contact, so for our group we have made life long friendships even though we are a diverse bunch, most people stereotype a greek house as a whole, but the best houses are very diverse, athlets, brains, fine arts, slackers, ********, we had them all. As I am sure the dorms or off campus people did as well, also my pledge class of 1991 has been pretty succesful, we have Insurance agents, salesman, White House Press Secratary's, Business Owners, Lawyers, Vets, Medical Professional, CEO's of Hospitals, and so on, so if that makes us dorks and ******** more power to us. Basically I am saying we are no different than those who did not join the Greek System, we just choose a different path for our campus life. So say what you want about Greeks, the same could be said about non-greeks, and I can also tell you the university and the ISUFoundation loves Greek Alumni as the donate about 80-85% of the money that goes to the foundation. So I am proud to be a Greek, I am married to a non-Greek and hope some day my son will choose to be Greek, but if he does not more power to him, he can be succesful nd enjoy college life either way. Go Greek or do not Go Greek, it is not for all.
