<p>K, the Greek numbers look astoundingly large. The reality on the ground? Not so much. My previously anti-sorority D rushed and enjoys her “sisters” a great deal. Thing is, her best friends and roomies are either not members of her sorority or not members of the Greek system at all. Her soph year she roomed with an un-repentant card-carrying GDI and the President of a rival sorority. Not having residential houses, officially or un-officially, does a lot to change the flavor of Rhodes Greek system from other more exclusive arrangements. </p>
<p>As far as religion, Rhodes kids believe in community service. It is a common thread that binds. As far as politics you’ll find there is a kid beating every conceivable drum. While not Wesleyan, Bard, Reed, or even Hendrix, it is decidedly not a bastion of conservativism.</p>
<p>On the Rhodes website , spend some time looking at the Faces of Rhodes and the Faces of Rhodes archive. In CC vernacular, I’m sure you’ll find a few likely members of your “tribe”.</p>
<p>As far as the Search course, it was (as taught by Byrne) a mind-blowing experience for my hillbilly kid. She loved it.</p>
