re: #58 Barefoot Grin
Very much my experience. Most of my freshman dorm friends pledged and we remained friends. I went to their parties (and was even invited to a couple of Formals, but didn’t go). Some good people. Just not my scene (I had an “in” at one because my dad had been a member and I was a legacy).
I had an unique undergrad experience since I was over 21 my entire time when I was at the four year school I graduated from. I had a couple of regular bars I went to too as well. Looking back on it, I was drinking way too much in those days. It didn’t impact my grades but I can’t help but to wonder if it did my reputation since while I am Facebook friends with a lot of those people, none of them ever hit me up but I just shrug it off.
