You forgot that they are also ways to get drunk and laid.

You don't really "buy" friends, you apply for them. And the sororities and fraternities are applying for friendship as well. If you find that you like a specific group, and that they like you too, it's a way of connecting with people you have common ground with.
On the other hand, I never joined a sorority because I don't like being with all of the same type of people all of the time.

That's kind of a cynical look at it. My experience is that at large schools, it is a way to find a smaller group to belong to. At small schools, it is harder to see why people would choose to join a Greek organization other than for status within a certain group.

Some may feel so but I believe that once you graduate you can use it as a great networking tool. Go to Meet the Greeks and see what sorrorities match your needs and personality. I wish you the best.

In a sense, you can look at it that way.
Many kids join them because their parents, or other relatives were also members.
Some people want to be a part of a group or club. I bet many others who may not have the means would join if they could.

Don't you think it could also be a good way to find a job when you need it later?
