Actually guys, when you start pledging you haven't made that life long committment yet. You are testing your suitability for that organization both nationaly, and even more so, the local chapter.
So if you find that while pledging, the local chapter is not a place you want to be, it is more than acceptable to not want to be affiliated with that group for the next few years.
Especially because that is going to dictate a lot of your social life.
To use the argument that you are joining a larger national for life, with affiliation options after you graduate is true, but shouldn't be the determinate for you joining your average mainstream fraternity or sorority, because there is very little affiliation, percentage wise, after graduation.
Plus, you are joining a social organization. We forget this sometimes, but it is aa social organization, if you don't respect the people around you andaren' going to have fun, why do it? Its just going to diminish the quality of your college experience and leave you bitter.
