I think you've seen The Skulls too many times. LOL.
I never said recruitment wasn't important. But you're placing way too much emphasis on having to "prove" your membership to a social organization. I don't think the country club hazes its provisional members, but maybe I should double check...
Fraternities and sororities are a great way to enjoy college and enjoy some good educational programming, parties and do some service, learn about philanthropy,team skills, deadlines and leadership. Post-college, you take some warm and fuzzy memories with you. Once you're in the office, no one cares. Sure, if you have a sorority sister or fraternity brother, they can put in a good word for you. But getting your foot in the door isn't a free pass. That's pretty much it.
The degree of seriousness is pretty funny. I hope you'll come back and read these posts in a few years when you're out working, paying down a mortage and living outside the college bubble.
