A friend of mine goes to Jeff, I think he lives at the "Phi Alpha Sigma" house. He says that they get through the mundane basic science stuff, and on the weekends there are always plenty of people to hang out with and drink a few beers. He has really changed the way I think about med school. I used to worry that I would spend all of the first two years with my head in a book, but now I think that I might have a pretty good social life, and if it is anything like he makes it sound, it might revolve around the guys I end up living with at his frat. I was not in a fraternity in college, but after talking to my friend, it seems like Crusader paints a pretty realistic picture of what the frats may offer. It sounds like the rent is really cheap and that they are located really close to campus. Also, I have heard that the victory building at Jefferson may not be completed in time for us to move into. Additionally, there has been talk that the university doesn't even manage the student housing any longer and that they have had so much trouble filling their apartments that they are letting Temple students live there in the fall.
I am definately thinking about the fraternity system for next year.
Can't wait to meet you guys next year
Bill
