<p>"The GDI often loves to chide the fratdaddy/sorostitute by accusing him/her of “buying friends”. However, this is far from the truth. Any fratdaddy or sorostitute can tell you that the main social function of a Greek organization is to bring together people with like interests. In other words, your house will be a collection of people that share your likes, your dislikes, and your perspectives. The rush process is an environment where houses pick you, and you pick them, because your personalities are similar. These will be people that you would be friends with even if no fraternities existed. Although the GDI does not want to admit it, even non-Greeks make most of their college friends through sharing activities, be it campus organizations or, in their case, intramural ultimate frisbee tournaments. In the same way, you will make lifelong friends in your house through shared experiences. Even when you are no longer paying dues, these relationships will remain. "</p>
