I've never understood the whole Greek thing - can someone explain to me the appeal of it? It always seemed like such a shallow, conformist system. Perhaps I've bought too much into the stereotypes - collections of pretty much interchangeable dumb jocks guzzling beer, snooty stuck-up women who are either sluts or prudes. We didn't have sororities or frats at my college - we did at the University where I did grad school, but by then my biases had already been formed, albeit admittedly in a relative vacuum.

So - what's good about the Greek thing?
