The percentage of students eligible for Greek life is only 75% of the student population since First Years are not allowed to join Greek life. When you remove the 25% of the ineligible students and do the math it is 47% of the upper classes involved in Greek life. Yes, 35% of the entire population, but since 25% are precluded from joining it isn’t really fair to use them in the percentage calculation. This has been well known and discussed for years in the admissions office among the tour guides. It is what it is. I am not saying that Greek life is bad or good, I just want the numbers to show what the reality is on campus.
