College Prowler Take

Paying money to make friends and be invited to parties is one way to spark up your nightlife. They say that money can get a lot of things accomplished. Actually, I’ve never heard that—I just made it up and it sounds good. Or maybe I did hear it and I just don’t remember. One coordinator told me that about 11 percent of the UA student body is Greek. That’s a good-sized percentage. You can see a Greek almost every time you go to just about any class. I think that they are very visible on campus. You can tell who they are because they usually have nice tans and letters of the Greek alphabet embroidered on their shirts. Sometimes the nerdy girl next to you will surprise you when she turns to you and tells you she’s in a sorority and that you’re invited to a party. You just never can tell ...

I never knew what the Greek hype was about when I got to the UA, and I’m still trying to figure it out. I do know that there are intelligent and interesting sorority girls and fraternity guys. The ditzy stereotype does crop up every once in a while, though. At such times, it is appropriate—and even mandatory—to point your non-Greek, independent finger at them and laugh annoyingly loud. It’s easy to tell that service-based Greeks work really hard to selflessly serve the community. And they seem to be pretty close to one another, I mean, they wear matching T-shirts and all.

Geez, Greek life is gigantic here. I am not a part of it, nor have I desired to be a part of it, but those who are seem to have a blast doing what they do best---partying, playing sports versus other frats or sororities on a Tuesday afternoon during midterm week, date-dashing at one of our sushi restaurants on University Boulevard---but it is the right cup of tea for some just not me. Maybe they are considered the "cool kids," but I thought high school was over?

Greek life is gigantic here; everywhere you look, someone is wearing their Greek shirt or backpack. I guess it is in a sector of its own in the social scene because they all have their own parties and events and other people do the same thing. If you want to rush, you have plenty of options, and if you don't, there are many other social scenes to get involved in.

I am very biased because I love my house and have gotten so much out of it. I’ve also met a lot of great people! You also meet everyone in the Greek system if you are in a house, so it’s a good way to meet people!

I am in a sorority, so I really enjoy it. But you don’t have to do it, especially if you’re a girl, because if you want to go to a frat party, you don’t have to be in a sorority to get in.

Some of the girls think they’re too cool because they’re in a sorority, but that dies down after freshman year, and all the sorority girls learn that it’s okay to talk to people outside their sorority.
