Good responses here guys thanks! Just to clear the air, I am not, nor will ever be a DMB fan. Thank you very much. I really liked all the people who gave openminded responses rather than sterotype biased ones, way to go! Thats in a way how I came to my decision. Being a "frat boy" seemed completely aginst my immage so I didn't think I would ever join, but then my friends there gave me a bid and I started thinking... Should I join to chill more with my good friends, or should I not join to preserve some sense of hip immage. Then It became obvious what I had to do. It would be completely un-hip to not join if the only thing holding myself back was other's perception of me. I can still be an individual in a frat and I can influence others in the hippy ways. I think it will be good on my personality because I usually keep to myself and I want to branch out and be more outgoing. Anyway, thanks again for the responses guys.
meh, a frat's an organization. The Frat's now-a-days are a disgrace to the original ideals, so you being a bunch of pot-head hippies isn't all that bad either. I've got a buddy in a stoner frat, but they were too lazy to sign up for frat status, so they just live in a house and get baked together.
ewww who wants to live with so many guys or girls in such close quarters.. that is scary..i hope i dont get forced into joining a sorority. what the point of it anyway? i thought it was to be with other people that want to help the world be a better place.. not get shitfaced and ruin someones life? yes, seamonster thank you! more guys should date artsy brainy girls. not the "like omg " types.
There are so many stereotypes here of fraternities and sororities, it´s ridiculous. Each one at every college is so different. They´re great places to make friends and party, but yes, the nature of such an organization is to exclude certain people they feel don´t fit the image they want to project, or wouldn´t get along well with the current members. So yes, if you don´t mind being a member of a group that excludes people, then go ahead. I joined a sorority at my school, mostly just to make more girlfriends and party more. There are good and bad parts. Don´t worry about what a ridiculous stereotype would do to you or your ¨image.¨ Ask yourself, ¨Do I want to pay a lot of money for friends in an organized group that can sometimes control your life?¨ Then you´ll know
i jsut dont see what you get out of it i have some friends in a sorority and basicly they pay a fee to hang out with friends and do bitch work for an orginzation that dosent much benifit them .... but maybe im just missing something
