Not all fraternities live together in the same house...
Paying for my friends? no, awesome resume builder and friends you will remember for the rest of your life? yes.

Just some info:

• 85% of the Fortune 500 Executives,
  
• 100% of Apollo 11 Astronauts
  
• 80% of U.S. Presidents since 1900
  
• Nationally, fraternity members acquire grade point averages above all other college men's scholastic rankings.
  
• Nationally, fraternity members have an overall higher graduation rate than non-Greeks. Seventy-one percent of all fraternity men persist to graduation while only 50 percent of all non-fraternity members graduate.
  
• All but two U.S. presidents since 1825 have been fraternity men, and 63 percent of the U.S. presidents' cabinet members since 1900 have been fraternity men .
  
• Studies show that 76 percent of Congress, 71 percent of the men listed in "Who's Who in America," and 85 percent of the Fortune 500 executives belong to a fraternity.
  
• Since 1910, 85 percent of the Supreme Court justices have been Greek.
  
• azing in the early 1980's and 1990's gave Fraternities and Sororities a bad name, currently most major Fraternities and Sororities have an active anti-hazing policy in place with penalties ranging from expulsion of individual members to absolute discharge of an entire chapter.
  
• Drugs and alcohol are technically banned in all Fraternity and Sorority sponsored functions - but the Keg Party is still synonymous with Fraternity on most campuses.
  
• # Fraternities and Sororities are not all bad - they are excellent networking groups for later life, give college students a second family, and are very philathropic giving hundreds of thousands of volunteer hours and millions of dollars to worthy causes every year.

Not everyone lives in a frat house.
Wow, what people know about frats is all from the movies apparently.

I do know they involve lots of people (read more than 3 or 4) and it is rare that I attend events where there are lots of people. Car show and school are the major exceptions.

You know what else is an awesome resume builder? Ranked number one in your major (finance). I don't need nor want the second family the frat seems to provide.

I got accepted into the induction process for Chi Sigma Alpha. Pledge week is next week. Fun.

What kinda experiences have y'all had with fraternities / clubs? (they call em social clubs at my school. Somehow that makes them more Christian than callin em frats. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif )

oh noes.

99% of frat member's families have incomes above the poverty level

therefore, if your family is currently below the poverty level, join a frat

all will be well.

frats = viable alternative to welfare
