<p>Hey. I am currently a freshman at UCLA. I am kind of on the fence about the whole fraternity thing. Last night I went to a several fraternities and by and large the guys seemed like the type of guys I would be friends with. I also like going to parties and meeting girls. </p>

<p>The reason I am hesitant is because I want to make schoolwork my number one priority at UCLA. This doesn't mean I want to shut myself in my room 24 hours a day studying, but I don't want to be forced to neglect my schoolwork by my obligation to a fraternity.</p>

<p>How laid back is it? Will I be able to skip some events if I have stuff to do? Thanks.</p>

<p>Did you know that the average gpa for fraternity members is actually higher than for non fraternity members? They actually study, and they do well in their classes.</p>

<p>that may be true, but I would guess that the majors of frat members are less demanding than there non-frat counterparts <em>flopsy face</em></p>

<p>so you received bids? personally, just talk with the members about it . . . </p>
