College Prowler Take

Greeks are widely known on campus. They are easy to point out since they have a certain look to them—preppy. Greeks come to class wearing lettered T-shirts and their cars have stickers revealing which Greek organization they are a part of. The fraternity houses are always throwing parties, and many independent students attend. The stereotype is rich, stuck up, and that they don’t care to be your friend unless you too are a part of the Greek system. There are plenty that chose not to go Greek, but they say they still have good friends that are. Greek students take pride in their system and enjoy the social benefits. However, being Greek is not the only way to have fun. Independent students say they have just as much fun.

During Student Government (SGA) and Homecoming Queen elections, independent and Greek students battle out to see who controls the campus. Some believe that the Greeks try to own the school by only electing other Greeks into SGA. Independents encourage everyone to vote and stop the Greeks from winning. This is usually the only time the Greeks and independents overall disagree. Greek or not, this does not stop students from being friends with each other. Being Greek is not for everyone.

Alabama has what some consider the largest Old South Greek system in the country. Ole Miss is the only school that compares with Bama. If you’re into that sort of thing, then go for it. But if you aren’t, then they aren’t going to stop you or anything if you don’t want to get involved.

It’s a good way to get to know people on campus. Sororities and fraternities carry unfair stereotypes. But as a Greek, I know I can bring anyone to my house of any nationality, and my sisters always welcome them openly.

If you are a Greek, then yes it dominates your social scene. If you’re not, then it doesn’t. Your social scene is yours, and it can be dominated by whatever you choose—Greeks, chasing bands, church, athletics, drugs, clubs—whatever you choose, it is purely up to you.

The Greek scene at Bama is very big. Their presence is sometimes a little too influential, but they throw great parties and most of them are cool to be around. I’m not a Greek. I went to rush, but it just wasn’t for me, so I decided against it. About 25 percent of the students here are Greek.

I have some friends in the Greek system and they’re just as nice as the next person.
