I used to work at a conference center when I was in college, and during rush week (which would have been awesome if it was the band.....hell, I'd even enjoy it if it was Limbaugh) a bunch of sorities would rent out a bunch of cnoference rooms and do their thing. I guess this is where they pick and choose who gets in (no fat chicks, sorry......add to that no poor chicks, no geeky chicks, no sistah's unless you act like totally white). They were mostly good looking and annoying.
Every now and then I look back on college and think that maybe I missed out not doing the fraternaty thing. From what I understand, 105% of the purpose about being in a frat is getting laid.
Of course, then I realize that it wouldn't have made a difference. Even if I got into a "cool" frat, I'd be hanging out with a bunch of douchebags that I have nothing in common with, and would end up socializing with a bunch of hot bimbos that I have nothing in common with. At some point, after enough frustrating outings of not getting any play, I'd be urged to try some date rape techniques.
Having said that, I know that there are different kinds of fraternaties. On campus we certainly had our own versions of the Lamda Lmabda Lamda's and Omega Mu's. I also know that some schools, like Maryland, frat life is huge, and some even require that you join (like Princeton, though they are called Eating Clubs).
