He already made up his mind: Its good that he made his own decision and is joining the fraternity.


Actually still have not decided really so I am going my friend Steyer about it.

I actually decide not to do it at all and it was a good choice on my account.

I didn't and won't vote on this...seriously, I don't know enough about you to even say...if there was an option, I'd pick, "Unsure,". :\

And yes, not ALL frats are partying and social. Alot are professional, and some are even honor societies, and can give you work opportunity, and others are focused more on community service.
The '06 Valadictorian who's currently enrolled at Vanderbilt as an Electrical Engineering major is in a community service type sorority.

I voted yes because of my own experience with my sorority. I had a great time in my sorority and kept in contact with several of my sorority sisters. In case anyone is wondering, my sorority is a service sorority.

Joining a Greek organization can help you in many different ways, such as lifelong friends, networking, etc. When I joined mine, it got me more involved on campus. I also befriended a frat on campus later on.

Just hang out with the guys and see if they are a good fit for you. If they are a good fit, I would consider pledging, if not, you don't have to pledge with that one. There might be a better one for you or you may find out that Greek life is not for you, and that is ok. Greek life is not for everybody.

For those that say, "do not join a frat/sorority," are you basing it on the stereotypes or personal experiences? In my case, I am basing it my personal experiences.

I'll be 20 years old in college and still havent made any true friends or niche yet. I think I have asperger's syndrome since i fit alot of the desriptions for it, especially since i'm shy and awkward. i have almost no social life

we just finished the initiation process, so im officially a brother, and i still dont feel like i made the right choice and strongly considering quitting. If i dont join this fraternity, I'll be almost friendless. when i say i dont 'clique' with them, i mean our personalities and interests dont match at all. most of the time, i have no interest in joining thier conversations since they talk about stuff i dont care about

i dont know if those guys are my right friends either, but being with them should certainly help me overcome my shyness/awkwardness. i dont know whether to force myself to be social, or to play it safe, and only be friends with fellow socially awkward people.

this fraternity is not your stereotypcial fraternity. the guys dont party much, no hazing, some of the brothers rarely drink, and its known for having a strong brotherhood. i mainly joined since i just want any kind of social life

i've been thinking of living in an apartment with strangers instead. Maybe the apartment would be a better idea since i only have 3 other personalities to deal with.

i talked to the president last semester about my not fitting in, a few weeks after rush, and he said that he went through the same feelings of loneliness due to not knowing anyone that well. i bet instead of telling me that this frat isnt for me, theyre just lying since they want my money
