text: what is the meaning of "greek life" in american universities??   to be involved in "greek life" at a university, one must basically join a club that includes certain people. it's just another connection system, a way to make friends, a way to get involved in the community or whatever that club stands for. it is a social group that likes to meet regularly (many are prone to partying), and a way to feel more involved within the university itself. sometimes they might seem cultish or dangerous, but most are just clubs that connect people.
