What are the disadvantages of joining a fraternity or sorority?

The disadvantages of Greek life are that it's really easy to lose yourself sometimes. I talk a lot about college being an unfamiliar place, or you're dealing with new feelings and you want to find a sense of community. Greek life offers such a strong, powerful sense of community that you can lose yourself a little bit. It becomes hard to say no when the only group of friends you have are the people you've met through your fraternity or sorority, because you get into that group mind. That's when people end up getting into trouble, so that's why you should make sure that you have options if you are involved with a Greek organization. Options in terms of social options, a religious affiliation or a club or organization outside the Greek system so that you can find that balance and so that if you feel that there's pressure, you're able to have a valve to release that.
