In full disclosure, I was not in a fraternity at Clemson. I did get in a bar fight or two with some of their members, but that was the closest I came to being a brother 
The main reasons I didn't were a) I didn't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of and b) I already had a bunch of friends attending CU prior to getting there so I didn't really need to socially.
My kids won't have the same worries I did on the first issue I had, but they will not have many (or any) friends wherever they choose to go most likely. That's what makes me think it may not be a horrible idea, especially for my daughter, to participate.
I do still equate frat/sorority life to parties and drinking which my now dry self would like to avoid, but a sense of belonging to your "people" has merit.
Thoughts?
