First, figure out what school you are going to attend then think about the other things.

Each of the schools you mentioned have very good fraternal organizations.

Next, keep your eyes and ears open and try to meet members. Check out their local and national web sites to get and idea about each. Also, on the local web sites, there should be a contact email address that you can contact stating that your will be attending that school.

Go through recruitment to get to know more members of each and see their opporations.

You will more than likely find there will be one or two that stands out to you and you will feel right about.

Remember, they select you so put your best foot forward. Most do not in the getting "smashed at partys anymore type thing".

If you find some that do this or haze, run the other way asap.

If you feel so inclined, please PM me.
