<p>I’m not going to get into the SMU/TCU debate as a whole, however I will discuss one thing. A big difference Greek Life-wise between us is that we do deferred recruitment (second semester) at SMU. The great thing about that is that you come in to college, get adjusted, make your friends, figure things out, and then can decide if going Greek is right for you. It also allows those who do go through recruitment to get to the know the chapters better before they join, and creates a less-divided atmosphere. I can speak from personal experience and say that I have friends in every house on campus and tons of friends that are unaffiliated.</p>
