I just wish I could recall the name of the college...anyway, I fear and am suspicious of sororities. If I meet a girl/woman who identifies herself as such I always wonder what their deal is. Couldn't they get friends on their own and had to join a gang to have built-in friends?
I think that there is a lot of that still going on however as BigV stated, DaughterofV is in a sorority. We are in no means "rich", which is a big stereotype. She works her ass off to get merit in the house, she has held the position of Parlimentarian and is now the Standards Chair. The house is very serious, as is the university, on upholding GPAs or you get the boot.

Partying is still an element anywhere but not just on Greek Row. All over every campus. As in evidence by the great game of beer pong I got to play on campus during Mom's Weekend last weekend.
Followed by a fantastic concert by Elton John.
