It is a CHOICE -- a wanting to belong to a group of individuals with the same interests as they have.
Just need to point out here that there are Fraternities/Sororities that are based on High Academic Standards or Leadership Skills/Volunteer organizations -- and that these need to be distinguished from the kind that have developed a bad reputation through dubious practices/behaviors.
These HONOR Fraternities are just that -- they have very strict academic, leadership, and volunteer requirements (and hold one to certain responsible standards of behavior) .. and are ways that students can be recognized for their all-around development while attending a college of their choice.

It relies upon on how the substitute software is determined up and how lengthy you'd be there. you want to be a matriculated finished time student on the college, something not all substitute pupils are seen. examine with the colleges greek existence workplace if you're allowed to hurry. the first semester in a sorority is spent gaining knowledge of about the team, you're literally not an entire member until eventually the right of the semester, so if you're actually not there longer than that there is no reason to hitch. also sororities have a sequence quantity of individuals they could take, utilising a niche on someone who isn't round longer than a semester or per chance a 12 months isn't positive to the team. At a lot less aggressive faculties the position there are better than sufficient spots for anybody it could be extra probable so you should receive a bid.

i dont know either.. but i think fraternities are for people who just cant get friends the normal way.. i mean they just want to belong. im not against fraternities but there's always at the back of my mind that fraternities are all with bad guys.. hazing for that matter. onslaught on the side with ofcourse against other frat.. students think that if they do belong in a fraternity, they will be secured in the campus, one will be alot cooler and happier if they just belong. there are some nice fraternities i do know but most are....sigh...

To belong to something. Possibly fear of going it alone or belief that the fraternity will pay off somehow during school and in the future.
I have yet to meet a frat guy that I would want as a friend. And sorority girls were only good for the action. I much prefer the people I've met in my life who had nothing to do with frats or sororities.

They're most likely outcasts, wanting to be accepted in life, they want to be a part of something, they want to be able to brag that they were once part of a fraternity or sorority.

Why not?
They get a house full of ready-made 'friends'
easy access to sex partners
a certain level of prestige
they have fun excluding outsiders
And they find making friends on their own too difficult
Individuality is overrated anyway

To have a feeling of belonging, and to have an excuse to get drunk all the time and have wild sex.

Lol! Wouldn't we all like to know. It's just stupid. It's for people who aren't accepted by their peers and have something to prove.
