So I'm applying to college next year, and the school I am really interested in has a pretty dominant greek system going. My mom read this, and immediately had a negative reaction towards it.

Why? What are they all about? What bad things happen that would give her this mindset?

They are no longer as... ridiculous as they used to be. In the past, they'd raise hell, drink like crazy and such, but now, they are pretty laid back.

Because fraternities and sororities are basically just a bunch of preppy kids who like to get drunk and party.
And have sex.

Sometimes the greek system gets a bad rep because of all the drinking and partying that some are involved with. There's a lot more drinkig and partying in the frats than sororities usually (in general... esp because a lot of frats can have alcohol in the house while in sororities it's forbidden soo no parties there). And sometimes people associate sorority girls with being slutty and frat guys with being players. Buuut taht's not necessarily true. Most houses really encourage you to do well in school and schedule study hours and stuff which can realy help people focus and study and do well in school. Plus there's always like a lot of philanthropy and getting involved in the community... plus meeting good friends and stuff! It really depends on the particular school and the aprticular house, some are more "wild", and some are more "studious"... If you're going to rush, I'd research into it and figure out which you think would best suit you. Good luck!

They are a really nice way to make friends.  But a lot of the people are kind of the same.
