What made you join a sorority/fraternity?

<p>Since they have zero appeal to me, I'm curious what makes people join them. They seem like dinosaurs to me, a relic of a bygone era in the history of collegiate education, like the Freemasons or Elks, but with booze. So is it the parties, or what?</p>

<p>i wasnt planning to join one, but met a lot of cool people in one and said hey ill try it out. </p>

<p>never regretted my choice</p>
