Good luck to you.
I'd never use the term "frat" among fraternity members - not cool.
All groups accept members in the spring - in fact I think Chico has "deferred" rush until Spring term.
Chico has had a series of nasty hazing/drinking problems in the chapters, and the school is cracking down. Be prepared, if a chapter (which will assure you during rush that they don't haze) starts unreasonable hazing, to say "if you continue, I'll be in the dean's office tomorrow morning." Be a man and help stop the ignorant and harmful hazers. Check the "Risk management" section of this forum for previous posts on Chico.
The "local" fraternities at Chico (those not affiliated with chapters at lots of other campuses) will be cheaper, but the "nationals" will give you lifetime benefits, more good programs, a magazine, etc. Go national if you can.
Fraternity membership is a great way to enjoy college life and make friends.
Last summer I visited Chico and Sac State - Chico is more a college town, although the fraternity houses are very crummy and stuck amongst the local civilians/citizens. SS is in a huge town, and there aren't many fraternity houses.
Best wishes. Let us know what happens.
