    They didn't mention Greek Houses. I wonder if that is too taboo in this pc world we are living in. Disappointing if they no longer will include those.

    Greek living is alive and well irl so I don’t understand what you mean,

    I think they probably wont be in the pack but they would sell it as if they give us that toga costume, new club activities, new party type then we can make our own Greek houses using the Club system by setting up various requirements/activities. They would market it as they are allowing us to make our own Greek houses how we want them and then they dont have to deal with the non-pc vibes.

    It would be a classic Sims 4 cop out.

    They also didn't mention in any description joining any fraternities or sorotities like we had those premade ones in 2 and 3 plus the Greek house initiatians. :/

    Many colleges here are dropping them because of too many bad things happen sometimes. It's become a thing here to get rid of them.

    Eh, my understanding is that Greek houses and Cinematic Fraternity Culture are pretty much a US thing (with a few appearances in some Universities in other countries) so it's probably less of a PC thing and more of an "Hey, the US system isn't the only one out there" thing.

    They mentioned off-campus living which could anything from Greek houses, rentals or living at home. We just don't know everything yet, but keg parties give me hope for Greek houses. If we can make our own dorms, then we could make them like a Greek house.

    It seems to only be a thing in the US, and I'm thinking that they're dropping it since it's not just an american game. To me it seems like the sensible choice, if it's not a part of uni for the majority of the player base, why keep it in just because it's common in the country where the game is produced?

    A little search can tell you why Greek Houses are not as acceptable as they used to be. And every stereotype reference to G.Houses are basically true. But they also do great community work so it's a hard decision for Ivy League colleges in the US.

    I graduated college 3 years ago. My Alma mater had to shut down 6 Greek houses since then for extremely troubling reasons.

    I don't think we'll have those problems with our sims.

    I wish they made Sorority Houses, objects & clothing. Oh well.
