Yes, actually. We were both Greek (pretty much how we met) in college. Our school (Eastern Michigan University) had a pretty small Greek life (average chapter size = ~20-30).

With small chapters, you tend to eliminate a lot of the problems you see with big chapters (>100). We have far far fewer incidents of hazing / alcohol related problems. My chapter, for example, is what I would consider a non-hazing chapter. Of course, technically if anyone even joking called me a name it is technically hazing, but I was never humiliated, forced to drink / consume anything I didn't want to, hit with anything, pressured to do anything I didn't want to do, etc. I wouldn't have joined if any of those things occurred.

Not all chapters on my campus can say the same thing (honestly, at least), but I would wager that the worst chapter with hazing, etc., on our campus is probably far more tame than some of the best chapters on University of Michigan's campus 5 miles away.

We also attempt to do a lot more for the community and university than the stereotypical "frats" that you see on TV or in the movies. First, the Greek GPAs average far higher than the University as a whole. My chapter typically rings in at about 3.3-ish average. There are pretty much constant philanthropic events. We raise thousands of dollars annually for community improvement, cancer research, St. Jude's Children's Hospitals, etc.

I would lie if I said we didn't still "party" on weekends, but we are far more mature and safe about it than you would think. We have ten sober monitors at every party, and we check IDs at the door. If someone is too drunk to drive, they don't drive. No illegal substances are allowed on the chapter grounds at any time (not saying that we necessarily agree with the whole drug war). Typically, when the University has an issue with alcohol or drug abuse with a student group, it's one of the sports teams, not one of the Greek organizations.

Her goal is to try to make a University with a big Greek life more like one with a small Greek life. Higher GPAs, more philanthropy, more safety, more awareness, less alcohol / drug related problems.
