It all depends on where you go to school. At my school almost a quarter of the school is greek. Fraternities are more than just partying, and that holds true for almost all of them. Also great for contacts. A fraternity wont really help you meet girls, as they are everywhere anyway and it all comes down to you and how you act. It will give you options and connections and opurtunities. instead of playing halo on weekends and hiding vodka in your dresser, you will have to decide on which party or event you feel like going to. Also, that whole bit about greeks have no friends is BS. Most fraternities wont even give you a bid unless you come off as someone who is fun to be around. You would be surprised how many bars and clubs are ran by brothers in colllege towns. It is also a grat way to meet some upper classmen who know a little how your college works and where the good places to hang are. I personally am in Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and while every chapter of every fraternity is different, we generally get along with people. My advice is to talk to all the fraternities on campus, pick three or four you really like, and then rush them all. After rush you can make a decision on which one, if any you want to pledge. Also, dont wait for them to approach you, if you make the first move, it will impress them. Do your homework. meet some older girls and ask their opinions on the different ones, but take it with a grain of salt. Like I said, its not really about the girls, because with enough game you can find them anywhere, but it is awesome for networking and knowing people. companies look at being in fraternity as very appealing, it shows you are an extrovert and have good people skills, and are generally more well rounded.
