Pros and cons..

Pros/cons are personal and everyone’s experiences are different, but personally a semester of bs for 3.5 yrs (and more) of friends, parties, etc is worth it. I know you can meet people outside of greek life and whatever, but the point is that your house has the most like-minded people you could find on campus and with each pledge class you meet even more people. When you graduate and move to a new city and stuff, you’ll 100% be grateful for having met so many people and having so many experiences

I’d definitely say it’s worth rushing to at least check out some of the houses. Also if you’re very serious about grades IFC posts the fraternity grade reports on their website maybe rush a frat that has a similar focus/mindset. If nothing else go to some events and meet some guys at different houses. If you vibe you with a house then great, if not then it just wasn’t meant to be.

if ur an incoming freshmen definitely rush and try to find some dudes u can see yourself being friends with. Specially if youre out of state and dont know anyone.
