<p>ROTC will provide your son with a core group of friends that is so important in college. That is the hardest step of college, finding the friends with whom you want to share your experience. There are other ways of meeting people, the Greek scene is not for everyone, nor should it be, it just is probably the easiest way. I have a few friends here in ROTC, and they are all very close with one another, even those that are Greek and those that are not.</p>
