The experience is not good. Middlebury College pioneered with its French house. A Middlebury study indicated that the members of the French house were more insular, less involved in campus activities and less well-rounded in their academic achievement. Let me say that I am happy that you accepted a bid from DePauw. We respect our faculty and wish that its members were even more involved in DePauw campus life.
Criticism is part of that involvement.
So is knowing more of the facts. By the way, every chapter seeks to have a faculty academic advisor. Chapters report difficulty in getting faculty members to fulfill this needed component of chapter life. If you have not been asked and would be interested, let me know. I will help you find a chapter that you could help.
