Despite scandals and bad ink, more and more students want to go Greek

MIT’s pan-hellenic Greek organizations are an exception for the most part.

Many students who otherwise would not have joined them did so because there was a lack of decent nearby housing options for students past the first year or two. Most friends/acquaintances who did stated as much.

Also, MIT’s academic culture and workload is such slackers tend to fall by the wayside pretty quickly.
