How sterotypical are frats/sororities?

<p>I'm only a sophomore in hs but I'm curious about greek life. I use to watch the show called Greek on ABC Family and I want to know if greek life is seriously like that? </p>

<p>Do frats and sororities party EVERY weekend? Do they care about sex, drugs, alcohol, reputaion and prepiness more than brotherhood, sisterhood and community?</p>

<p>Do they have ridiculous, pointless and humiliating hazing acts? Do sororities judge girls on their make-up, money and popularity? These are things I hear and see on tv mainly from majority white greeks. </p>

<p>What about black frats/sororities? How are those? I know they step a lot which is cool. I am also black so I'm leading more towards a black sorority.</p>

<p>Reason for that is b/c I live in the suburbs and are surrounded by whites 24/7 which is fine. Blacks are excepted and get a long here, but I wanna be around more blacks and our culture. </p>

<p>And no, don't think we are all "ghetto" and ignorant. A lot of us aren't. </p>

<p>Anyway I would enjoy the feedback. Oh and also my top choices are:</p>

<p>Marquette University
University of Pittsburgh
Unicersity of Minnesota
University of Mizzou (Missouri)
University of Illinois-Urbana Champain</p>

<p>How is the greek life at those colleges?</p>

<p>Many fraternities and sororities are stereotypical and break college hazing and drinking rules. Some are not. Some colleges have more of the stereotypical ones and some don’t.</p>

<p>From what I have seen, the all black sororities are very similar to the mixed sororities in their interactions with fraternities, popularity within the sisters, etc.<br>
You probably want to go on something called greekchat and research the threads there. Its very comprehensive.</p>
