I'm in a pretty large fraternity. Well I was until just recently. They are an excellent way to have a lot of fun. Stereotypical alcohol and weed related fun. That being said, I've made some of my best friends in my fraternity. Some of the others I could do with out. But if you pick 90 people randomly from the street I probably wouldn't like all of them either.

Alot of my good friends from High School who went to college with me were anti fraternity. I joined one and retained friendships with all of my initial friends and made more with some that they made there. As do the majority of people in fraternities.

The people who know frats through the Friday night fraternity experience don't really know the extent of what being in a fraternity entails. All the people I've met in the greek life are as different as the non greeks.
