Rushing a Fraternity

I rushed a frat... Make sure the frat you rush is not lame.

The two frats I was looking into looked pretty cool. So, I thought to give one of them a try. Half way through the semester when the tailgates began and stuff, I realized I was in the "shitty frat."

Make sure you do research into which frat is the best frat. It'll be a great and fun experience. I wish I could switch frats or leave my frat and join another, but sadly I can't.

Don't do a "pre-med" frat or any other frats with majors such as "engineering frats", etc., because these are co-ed and super lame. Join a real social frat. And before you join a social frat, make sure it's not lame.

TL;DR: Med one

I am a former frat king, always a brother however, as I believe is the oath I swore. Let's explore options. It boils down to which one is going to allow you to network better in your future. Sounds like Med is the way to go. Why? Because if you rush for any other reason you're an idiot. Junior year Frat bros are already disenchanted and losing interest - they've already made their friends Freshman and Sophomore year. So you're going to be the new guy, whom the young guys will be too immature to hang with and the old guys will want nothing to do with. Plus if you come off giving a shit about duties or leadership positions, you're going to look like a hack. If I sound harsh it's only because I want you to realize joining a fraternity for social privileges at this point in college is a waste of good money, time, but not getting pussy because you'll do just fine if you have any sort of backbone.

Yeah I originally wanted to rush cause of the networking and social opportunities. I forgot to mention this but I'm African American. Does that change anything?

On my campus, and probably most campuses, you want to join a social fraternity. As in do not do a professional one. Often times the professional ones don't help that much, and the social aspect isn't nearly as good. You want to find a fraternity that's one of the top on campus (just talk to different people about that, it's pretty easy to figure out). This will help your social life for sure. Think about it, you immediately have social proof to girls at parties. Plus you'll gain a group of guys who should have your back.
