Honestly , are you good friends with all the brothers
by: HonestyI’m a junior and have been in my fraternity for 3 years and I love it but I hear all the time that all the brothers will be your best friends , I think it’s just impossible to be close friends with over 100 dudes . I was wondering if anyone of you feel the same way? I am really close to my pc and have a even tighter bond with 4-5 guys and will consider all the other brothers just a friend and honestly I don’t see them being my friends for long after I graduate.

You have to go out of your way to hang out and get to know people in your house. You’ll never get close to guys in your house if you only hang out with them at parties.
I knew several guys in my house who felt the same as you do and it’s because they never bothered trying to hang out with people outside of their close circle and outside of parties.
It’s a biological want/need to have 2-5 close friends in a social circle (look it up). Once most people get that amount of close friends in a specific social circle they don’t feel the urge/need to reach out to other people. So it’s no surprise that’s how many people you’re close to.
I’m not saying you have to be close to 100 guys since that isn’t possible, but you should try to be close to around 15 guys in your house. Reach out and good luck.
Even if you never talk to them ever again after college that’s perfectly fine. People start their own careers, move to far away places, start families, and that’s life. College is just one stage of your life. While you’re here study hard, surround yourself with people of good character, and enjoy while it lasts :)

I don’t feel like close high school bonds with any of the guys on my house. I have a fine time but I have accepted I’ll never be close like that with these guys. Part of it for me is I don’t find the humor particularly good, and many of them are just frankly different from me. It will be a Sunday and they will be talking about parties happening the next weekend. Like can we find other stuff to talk about?

I agree. Def a different dynamic then I envisioned going into the process.
