<p>but I’d like to change that in case I’ll be missing out on something great. So, are there any books or other material that portrays an accurate view of modern Greek life? If it helps at all, I’m applying to only private schools on the west coast.</p>
<p>There’s a really great online forum called GreekChat. There are many, many people who would be willing to help you with any concerns or questions that you have.</p>
<p>Just a heads up: Greek life varries significantly between schools. It is a lot bigger in the south (my sororities chapter at LSU has 172 actives, while we have about 70). It has more of a party feel at state schools. It really differs, try to ask someone from your school.</p>
