It's an old-boy network for when you get out into the cold, cruel world. Generally speaking, fraternities admit guys of their same basic economic and social status, often of the same religion. Do look for one that brings out the best in you, not the worst.
It's also probably better housing than you can get in the dorm, and more fun than an apartment. Most fraternities also have a "sister sorority," so there is a chance to meet girls that are predisposed to liking you.
You will probably have to be disciplined to study, perhaps getting used to studying in the library. Some of them are pretty serious about academics, and the older brothers tutor the younger ones. As long as they don't have absurd initiation rites (a lot of them do really dangerous things for initiation), it's probably more of an advantage than not.
