<p>How important/significant is the Greek life at UNC. What are the top 5 or so frats and their reputations of people who are in those frats? Thanks</p>
<p>Greek life at UNC is not as important or significant as it is at other more “southern” schools like South Carolina, Ole Miss, Bama, Tennessee etc. Whether or not you go Greek should be solely your decision and won’t negatively impact your social situation if you choose not to.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about what others may think of a given fraternity’s reputation or ranking. The most important things when rushing are fit and feel. How does it feel and how do you feel you fit in? It matters not if it’s some arbitrarily ranked top five fraternity because if it doesn’t feel like the right place for you why would you want to be there in the first place?</p>
<p>If you think you may to rush, visit ALL the houses and see which one feels best to you…don’t worry about perceived prestige…some of the best houses are not always the ones that carry the big name reputations…in fact at UNC a couple of the smaller houses are quite good and a few of the bigger ones have reputations you might not want to have your name associated with.</p>
<p>Go with an open mind and check them ALL out and remember, during rush they will be attempting to put their best foot forward…if something doesn’t feel right before you join why would you think it will get better after you join?</p>
