<p>All 3 were in the honors dorm freshman year. D1 and her friends from honors all joined different sororities but remained best friends all 4 years, living together the last two. D2 was not interested in Greek life but has friends and roommates that are Greek. Even though Greek life is large there doesn’t seem to be much pressure to socialize with only your sorority/frat. It’s probably because everyone is pretty involved with multiple organizations, so it’s only natural to make friends with kids from different groups. D1 claims that you can’t talk to a person you just met for more than 10-15 minutes before you realize you have friends in common. </p>
<p>D1 has mentioned that most of her friends in grad school don’t talk of their undergrad experience with as much fondness as she. She stated that her friend from William and Mary had a similar undergrad experience. She continues to meet Miami alums at chapter parties in her new city. They look after each other; there is a bond. Some may like that some may not. </p>
<p>D2 enjoys her time and her friends in a quieter way. She prefers small groups, but is still involved in multiple activities. She has not been as into the high street night scene, but gets involved just the same. It will be interesting to see if see makes contacts with alumni groups after she graduates. </p>
<p>I am told my son knows pretty much everyone on campus. I doubt that, but it is his personality to try! He’d climb a mountain to meet up with another Miami student or alum. </p>
<p>They all find their own spot though. No matter where they decide to attend you just want them to be happy…and learn! No matter where they go, it’s important to get involved. It is easy to do that at Miami.</p>
