In the gym the frat boys were always the loudest and taking up the most space. They often called each other "bro." On Thursday nights the sorority girls could be seen staggering between the parties in their revealing outfits.
People are definitely free to live theirs lives the way they wish, I'm just glad the greek part of campus was separate from the rest and was easily avoided.

Greek life takes on different forms at different schools. I do get the impression that generally there are more negatives than positives, but it also depends on the greek organization as well. It's not just a matter of "is it greek?" but also "what kind of greek?" For example, my brother was technically in a fraternity, but it was a fraternity of chemical engineers or something along those lines, and I don't think they even had a house - if they did, he certainly never lived in it. Still, it does seem to me as though there is some truth to the stereotype.
