I joined the Marine Corp right out of high school and my contract is up in a few months. I have been looking at colleges and fraternities. Why should I join a fraternity? What are the pro's and con's of joining a fraternity?

If you're a Marine, you're already in a fraternity for life. Why join another one? When I got out of the military and went back to school, I saw most frat guys as being either the kids that got picked on way too much in high school, or the kids that were too drunk/stoned to show up for class in high school. They're stupid, man. Stay away. And don't think for a minute that you have to be in a frat to score a sorority chick. They're pretty easy, and definitely hookup with ex-Marines. With that said...
Pros
You get really *kool* shirts with greek letters on them, plus some nickname on the back that your new friends give you. Non-Greeks become envious.
Community service goes on your resume.
First pick on new sorority trash (which, by then, is probably fourth pick overall).
Cons
You get stereotyped for life. All future employers will know that you were a drunk, drug using, womanizing slacker in college, whether you were or not.
Initiation. You'll likely have to drink your own urine, masturbate in a church, or run naked through campus while covered in your new brothers' fecal matter. Hooray!
You'll likely get at least one STD. It's actually required in some frats.
I'm sure I missed some, but there's the basics. Hope this helps. Thank you for serving our country.

They are what people calling "Hating". Those who tell you that joining a fraternity or sorority is a bad thing are just jealous. They spent their weekends and college days sitting in their room with their thumbs up their butts. Join if you find one you like. You will love it

Personally I think fraternities and sororities are just a ridiculous excuse to party and get away with it on campus.

Why join? Are you that desperate for friends that you have to pay some club? The only reason I might have joined one is if I went to a huge university and needed it so I could live at the House, and so I could meet people. I went to a small university, so it seemed like a waste of money. Besides that, the sorority girls seemed like idiots.

You will have the time of your life and the memories will last a lifetime. You will have stories to share with the grandkids one day.
You will drink too much, suffer several hangovers, and perhaps have to put up with jack a**es.

Fraternities are retarded. There is no "should" If you want to fine..but if you do not want to fine also. It is up to you. If you plan to go to college then go to get a degree..And look back and laugh at those frats who flunked out.

A way to pay for friends...in case you can't find any friends for free.
