Fraternities/Sororities!!!!

<p>I was just curious if any transfers were considering Greek life? I am really considering joining a frat at Berkeley but I am concerned of how fraternities work if you are a transfer student. Any Insight?</p>

<p>There is no way I'll let some 19-20 year old haze me... no thanks</p>

<p>I'm sure being a transfer won't mean anything when applying to a frat, you will have to rush just like the frosh.</p>

<p>I don't mind being rushed. I just feel like there will be enough time to get acquainted with fellow members.</p>

<p>my friend (a junior transfer to ucla) pledged, and yeah he didn't like being ordered around by people younger than him</p>

<p>My friend was a transfer student, got into Berkeley, rushed, and loves it now.</p>

<p>I wonder what are the serious benefits of being in a frat or sor....i mean obvioulsy one has to invest a lot of time and money into it...what are the benefits? help with the first job ?(if you are an econ major, that is kinda pointless cause u r gonna get recruited), testing bank ?(my personal favorite^^) and what else? can somebody tell me what exact benefits do really get from joining and how much time do you have to invest? I am going to an Econ Major at this next fall and I will be working my ass off in order to get good grades to I can actually get into the program...seriously wonder if it is worth it. Any input? thanks in advance</p>

<p>There was a statistic that 85% of fortune 500 executives were in a Greek society.</p>

<p>wow....thats alot....does this mean like the normal frats or honors frats...the way i understood is that normal frats help you with your first job and party etc...and the honors frat im actually not to sure what they do ...lol
please somebody enlighten me...</p>

<p>staggering statistic...</p>

<p>I think the statistic encompasses all geek societies including sororities. Many frats are national and you could possibly have hook ups all across the US.</p>
