Definately!!!

I don't think so. Although, I will say, in terms of social life and campus, OU is more urban while OSU seems more small town-esque.

Is it arrogance if we know we're better?

Being in a fraternity myself, and having joined after completing my freshman year here at OU, I believe that OU is, indeed, very "Greek." I came to OU with the same stereotypes that everyone else did about fraternities, thinking of those involved with them as having bought their friends, but after giving Greek life a try, I discovered that this stereotype is completely inaccurate, and it is somewhat amazing that it persists despite being repeatedly disputed. Here at OU, fraternities and sororities participate in virtually every community service project that is offered in the area, and on top of that, many Greek organizations go out of their way to create their own opportunities to serve the community and their common campus.

i think for the most part they are. most of the very nice cars around campus belong to greek students. as for the football players, i have had classes with several players. in my experience the more popular/recognizable players payed less attention in class and took their tests in different areas than the rest of us. i have also had classes with some younger, less recognizable players, and they had people checking up on them to make sure they were going to class.
