<p>I agree that for girls, getting through recruitment is the crazy part, and for boys, getting through pledgeship can be the tough part. I think the selection process for fraternities is crazy because it is so unstructured at most places. A few schools in Indiana (DePauw and Wabash) have a more formalized fraternity rush, but most of the time it is about hanging out at a few parties, without visiting all the houses. My friends at IU knew what houses they would join before school started. Just seems really weird to only give a few groups a chance.</p>
