<p>If you wanna party and have fun do you have to join a frat or can you party alot without being in one. and how hard is it to get into a frat?</p>
<p>Hi, from your screen name I’m assuming you’re from ny? My son is a freshman this year. He’s from ny. Previous to this year frats weren’t a huge notheast thing. But according to my son this year and beyond it will be. As far as how easy it is… It depends on you. If you’re social in general, if maybe kids from your HS already go to IU. Rush for frats starts early the first semester, once you get a bid you are pledging the entire semester and it takes ALL of your time. He doesn’t regret joining but the pledging gets to you because it goes on and on</p>
