Fraternities

<p>Would anyone join? I'm just curious because I've been fascinated by Fraternities ever since I watched 'Road Trip' The whole Frat scene looks pretty fun. I think that would be something I'd like to experience. But please, bombard me with why it's a bad idea.</p>

<p>I'd never join. To me it's kind of like paying money to have automatic "friends," it's more of a social lubricant than anything else, and I prefer to make friends naturally. I think you can do all the fun stuff (partying, etc) without paying your hard-earned money (that will be scarce enough once you get to college). Frat boys to me are just people whose parents have too much money and so they pay dues for an elitist organization that makes them feel more superior to their peers than they already think they are. That's not to say frat boys can't be nice, a lot of my good friends have rushed, but it just isn't for me. If you really think it looks fun though, more power to ya.</p>
