Almost everybody on campus is in a Sorority or Fraternity, but for those who are not, it's a little difficult to find the right people for you to hang out with. Either you love Greek life, or want nothing to do with it, there's no middle ground. So constantly being surronded by the stereotypical sorority and fraternity students can get frustrating.
