Cons of Greek Life

Along with pros of Greek Life come the cons. Nick Spillane, a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity at Michigan State University said, "I would say the only con of being involved in Greek Life would be dealing somewhat bad reputation that it brings." According to Dr. Alan Reifman, a professor of human development and family studies at Texas Tech University, heavier drinking is showed to be consistent with Greek Life members compared to non-Greek members. This issue of a bad reputation of Greek Life seems to be a consistent con to both those involved and those who are not. Carla Hayden, a non-Greek MSU student, said the cost of being a part of a sorority is too much and not worth it. Living in a house with up to 50 girls also stands out as a con to Hayden. Jacquelina Kupchick is an MSU alumnae who was not involved in Greek Life. She was not a fan of Greek Life saying that those in Greek Life seemed stuck up and less likely to hang out with non-Greek Life students.
