@Sophie1295 Thank you so much for your insight. You have confirmed what I felt to be the case - it’s so hard reading all the negative things that people say about your best college option and it just makes the decision making harder and the feet colder, so to speak.
In your experience, how prevalent is the feeling of being a “second class student” as a non-Greek life person? I really have no interest in joining a fraternity, no matter how wonderful it’s supposed to be, because I really don’t think that it’s for me. But, I’ve heard people say that for guys it’s almost ‘mandatory’ in order to have a good time, and that’s a huge concern for me.
