As PenguinTrax has indicated in another thread, in.. Greek Life?, I want to say it is, Greek culture in my home state is very casual relative to other regions of the country.
I'd been communicating via email with three of the four fraternities before I got the news that one is folding after the spring semester.
That left three. One is colonizing and thus, I had no interest in them. It's nothing against the fraternity itself or the guys in it; I just wanted to be in a fraternity that has tradition and history on the campus they're at.
Down to two.
One of the fraternities never contacted me at all, which made me feel unwanted by them. Thus, I eliminated them.
That left just one and the choice was clear.
I stopped by the house on my way home, as the college is en route to my hometown from my old univeristy; I talked to the guys, was offered a bid, and accepted. Roughly an hour later, a good portion of my stuff was moved in temporary storage in the house, awaiting my return and full move-in before the spring semester, after they get done playing musical rooms (As two of the guys are graduating and moving out).
It's funny... I entered the house and I had the sense that I was breathing in fresh air. It was more beautiful to me than most of the houses I visited at Wyoming, save for one. I felt at home, truly at home. The architecture, the design of the house... it reminded me in some vague way interiorwise of my first and still dream school.
Then, when I met the others in the house, it was like we'd all known each other for years. I didn't feel like I had to be presentational or play a role like I did during fall rush... I felt relaxed and easy, like my true self.
Ravenclaw won in the end... and in this case, Ravenclaw is....
