Yeah bro do it. Joining a fraternity gives you easy opportunities to meet a shit ton of people. Make sure you dont join a bad one though. You've probably already heard of the good frats at your school so rush as many as possible and find the best one for you.

Fraternities will have events during the start of the semester that are usually advertised on their ig page. The good frats will have invite only events though so make sure you're talking to everyone. Don't try to suck the brothers off as they can tell instantly when you're just trying to get in good w them. Make sure you talk to other rushes as well bc you might be pledging with them and your line brothers will probably be the people ur closest to (common struggle).

*If your in line and they're about to do some shit that will cause permanent damage just leave bro its not worth it. The good frats will know how to show restraint.*

Depends on what you want.

Frats are basically an “in” to the upper levels of college social life. You just automatically have buddies to hang out with, meet girls at parties and events on campus.

I left mine after a year so it’s up to you. Depends on what you’re looking for.

It’s basically easy access to social networking with people who want to party. There are also smart kids, jocks, and cunts in every frat so it’s not just get hammered all day every day people, although that’s there if you want it.

I think my favorite parts were the easy access to girls (and I was popular in my fraternity so girls were pretty easy), the sports, and the everyday stuff like having people to study with (you pretty much have a brother in every class for the most part) people to grab lunch with or go to the gym with.

Least favorite parts were the dues, the girls got annoying easily, and sometimes there was drama (like a friend dates this girl, then they break up and she dates another brother, just petty bullshit like that).

My very good homie from my frat introduced me to TRP tho

If I didn’t join a fraternity I never would’ve become extroverted again, started lifting, or found TRP. Joining a fraternity was one of the best decisions I could’ve made

In my early college years, yes I had a lot about it. But the older I got, the more I realised these fraternities are pretty much drunks who don't do much for their studies. Basically they're all kinda party hoes. When I stopped going to those parties (they're all the same), my grades skyrocketed up to A levels instead of B-. They're fun, and can give you some really good connections but keep in mind college is wayy more important and if you join you shouldn't take it too seriously.

Frats will exponentially expand your social network. But I would say only join if you have some common interests with the brothers. Drinking and doing drugs is common, but I’d advise to try and be at least a little bit more sober than the rest of the people if you’re at a party. Just so you can think clearly and remember what is important to you.

I would personally say yes. It helped me get out of my she'll as an introvert, gave me a place where I felt comfortable to be myself, and surrounded me with people who actively wanted everyone to improve as people.

We're a group of laid back people who aren't afraid of putting our foot down if one of our brothers is going off track. Now, not all fraternities are like that. Just as many are there just for the grades and even more are around just to party. We are an outlier on our own campus so make sure you know what you are getting yourself into, make sure it is right for you, make sure you get along with most of the people there, and make sure you put yourself in a place where you will prosper because you are there for an education first and foremost.
