I can’t say anything on Greek life. It’s not my cup of tea and my major experience with greeks is the frat down the street from me who I loath because they litter the street with broken glass every other weekend.

I wouldn’t trust self reported stuff, since it tends to be biased. I have seen studies that say greek life will have a negative effect on GPA the freshmen year and a small improvement after that, that fraternity membership will result in a low GPA, greek life will not affect GPA, and that greek life gives a small advantage. I honestly don’t think greek life is a predictor of anything and it comes down to the individual.

Looking at what the RO says what class you have to take I’m going to warn you that ZOL 341 and ZOL 445 can be really hard to get into. Your best bet for that is to take ZOL 341 in the summer (easier to get into and better class overall even if it is accelerated) unless you really love studying and/or have a million credits already.
