Free pizza... the ability to order people around (but for a very short
ammount of time) for free (no influence points needed).. uhm... I dont
know, I think they behave "wilder" in a greek house, and more people
come by to hang.

You have complete control over all sims in the House, and it seems to
run with less lag for me.

Or, if you live in a rented house, you can pick up the phone and apply
for charter membership

hehehehe, everybody knows it's a bong... I like how Maxis thinks.

You get free stuff! I have gotten tons of pizza but also a TV, plants, the
Nintendo like game thing, chairs, and end tables (although of low quality)!

Your Sims can now sleep on the floor too! They just sort of pass out!

Besides that and the Toga parties, I have not noticed anything else.

They've always been able to do that (since Sims 1, in fact) - Mercer is
always passing out as he exits the taxi after his Romantic benders on the
community lots. Creep.

More than that. My Greek House sims wander off to college and steal all
kinds of stuff. Lamps, plants, pizza, etc. Pretty much anything small that
isn't nailed down.

I've never had any of my frat sims bring home anything but pizza. Not at
all like I remember frat boys in college, but that was so long ago, my
memory is probably inaccurate. The biggest benefit that I have found is
that they can hack their grades (but only for the semester that they are in,
darn it). Not that making the honors list seems to be a great challenge at
any of the Sims U's.

If you motherlode the lot to furnish it nicely, sims seem to bring back
items less often than when you play a greek house straight. It seems
to me that they are prone to bring back objects that they need, so if
they don't have many surfaces they'll bring back a table, if they don't
have many entertainment options they'll bring back a TV/Console
system/Remote Car, etc. When they don't have needs like that because
they've all been provided for by the huge influx of cash, they won't
feel the need to swipe anything.

Membership in a Greek house doesn't confer the hack grades benefit.
Your sim needs to have membership in the secret society to do that, and
if they've got low logic points, that's *really* not worth it.

I have noticed as well that Greek Houses do seem to spawn more visitors
who come by to hang out. There's that, for what it's worth (and it's
worth something, your Greek House sims should never get lonely, and
making friends is fairly easy), the pledge influence benefit (my sims
never have to write a term paper), and access to some easy-to-fulfill
wants that come with membership (although this isn't that big a deal).
