I don't see the necessity of posts going against Greek orgs and bashing such stuff.
It just doesn't make sense how one can justify their extreme negative perspective of it when they've never experienced what it's like.
sooperhooper would probably have the best view of it, but based on his experience with his previous org alone.
There are too many orgs, so it's unfair and truly biased to marginalize all of them in some stereotyped category.
I think this is more for the people who are already genuinely interested in the matter.
With that said, it has its advantages and disadvantages like anything else. But if you join, join for your reasons and not anybody else's.
Greek life is certainly not for everyone. The org, university, demographics, dynamics and many other things factor in in how they can be beneficial to your student life and beyond, but only you can determine how far you can go with it. Is it a necessity? Absolutely not. Can you achieve any and all of these things without going Greek? Of course. But it has its own perks that only goes with joining. So to answer your question, get to know the orgs more, and the more you do, if a certain org is right one for you (of if Greek life isn't for you), it serves more as a sure answer rather than a choice.
