Should I Join A Frat?
Who better to come to for semi-significant decisions than the inhabitants of OOT? Anyway, here at USC, the social scene is pretty much dominated by the frats. I'm tired of sitting around in the dorms on the weekends knowing that there are parties featuring lots of booze and lots of fine women just blocks away, but I can't get into them. But, on the other hand, if I were to join a frat, I would be... In a frat. And that's gay.

Re: Should I Join A Frat?
I don't know what the situation is like at USC, but honestly, I say go for it. Where I am, we don't have frats so all the parties are just people having a couple of kegs in their apartments, so I can't really speak from experience. Granted, being a frat guy is kinda gay, but so is sitting in your dorm on the weekends and getting no pussy.

Re: Should I Join A Frat?
Very well put.
I think the plan for now is to go to pre-rush and rush and do a whole lot of boozing, then see how things go from there. |

Re: Should I Join A Frat?
How much will you have to pay per semester for these friends you are buying?

Zing! Man, I forgot about that, I have no idea how much the fees or dues or whatever are, that will definitely come into consideration.

Re: Should I Join A Frat?
I almost joined a frat, but then I realized all I would be doing is paying for the friendship of some people that I didn't even really want to be friends with.
I went to a few of the events, and was not a fan. I could have easily gotten in, but I just walked away. Good thing too... Now I realize it would have been a big mistake for me. |

Re: Should I Join A Frat?
i read most of the post and agree with a lot that is being said
-joing a fraternity is not buying your friends -- the dues that are paid (atleast in my case) went towards the expenses of the house -- utilities, house cleaning supplies, house maintenance/repairs. also members are allowed to live in the house, they pay rent, which is less than living at the dorms and includes their dues. i have so many unforgetable expiriences from living in the house for four years. i have made so many life long friends and the networking from alumni is unbelievable, ive had offers for jobs to go live in colorado and work - because im a "brother". these houses are not always just places to party and bang chicks, which does happend and is pretty sweet. we ran or participated in community service events throughout the year -- the events were almost always successful. picking the right house is very important -- each one is going to have a different atmosphere and be diverse in its own way. its up to you to choose which enviroment you feel that you feel the most comfortable in. i doubt you will talk to many people that would regret pledging a greek house. but it is not for everybody -- its not about fitting in, some aspects are difficult to explain but the exxpirience is unreal and cannot be compared to anything else good luck -- not sure how pledging is there but have fun and enjoy it cheers beer |

Re: Should I Join A Frat?
The social scene at the college I went to was also dominated by fraternities, so being the thing to do, I joined one and have never regretted it.
My closest life long friends of over 30 years are from that fraternity. However, it is important to join the right one. Take the rush seriously and pick one where you have a lot in common. Also, once in, be careful about the distractions. There's always someone around that wants to fcuk off. It's very tempting sometimes to blow off studying when others around you are having a good time. |
