Did you belong to a Greek organization in high-school or college?

37. I surprised myself by joining Delta Tau Delta, probably because I'm not much of a joiner.

The men in our chapter were hard to stereotype ("jock house," "geek house," "stoner house&quot ) because the house had all three of the aforementioned types, plus military, DJs and rockers, hunters, D&D players, etc. Half the guys were cool and half the guys were assholes (and still are), but I grew tremendously as a person taking on responsibilities and learning how to have a blast. It was a great experience for me and I wouldn't change a thing.

I'm not sure if I would recommend Greek life to my sons, who go off to college soon enough. But in looking at promotional materials from colleges and universities, and having written a lot of their websites in the last five years, schools have placed more emphasis on student life in the last 20 years. It seems as if many have broken the power of the fraternities and sororities as the center of social life. And I think that's a good thing.
