Greeks Do Alot for Students and Communities
Greek Life, as a non-Greek, comes across as something not only fun to be a part of but an experience of a lifetime. Within Fraternities and Sororities, brotherhoods and sisterhoods are built and maintained. Sisters stick together and push one another to prosper academically and personally. No man is left behind, is what I see from all Greeks, no matter the ethnicity or beliefs. Greeks that I am familiar with such as Alpha Kappa Alpha, Alpha Phi Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta and Sigma Gamma Rho, constantly hold events to keep students on campus entertained and involved. They even provide information about job/internship and volunteer opportunities on occasion which non-Greeks appreciate. I have heard of and seen the work they do with young children whether in day-care or hospital. They do a lot to give back to the community and also even recognize specific students for accomplishments providing scholarship opportunities with whatever they managed to raise.

Out of Sight Out of Trouble
Drugs are not a big deal on campus. Every now and then you get your marijuana smokers but there are way more drinkers. USF has a no smoking marijuana policy and if you smoke tobacco you must be a certain distance away from a building (no smoking inside). In terms of drinking, of course there shouldn't be any under-aged drinking but they also prohibit drinking within the dorms in plain site. In any case these things still happen but not because USF staff allow it, but because students tend to go by the "out of sight out of mind" and "what they (RA/Staff) don't know won't hurt 'em. On occasion you can catch students that are high or drunk but staff do not have the authority to scorn students for it they simply make sure that they get to where they are going safely and that they and people around or with them remain safe.

Need to Be Expanded
I don't have financial aid. I'm not sure of the reasons as to why but i'm sure expansions are needed so that it is accessible to more students (Internationals especially)
