FRATERNITIES aren't clubs, they're brotherhoods, they're much more, so we gentleman in fraternities shouldn't be short sold, by a bunch wannabes. If you would like to offer the situation to the OP, phrase it better:
Dear OP,
Perhaps you should consider a service organization club. I joined (not pledged) one, and I was of a similar age, and found it to be a great fit.
And stop making up words. Smartassity?

Sorry, but I joined a service fraternity, not a club.
Having a house is not a criteria for being a fraternity. At many colleges and universities, many if not all social fraternities/sororities don't have houses. Does this suddenly make them clubs and not fraternities/sororities?
The only accurate thing you said is that Fraternities aren't clubs, they're Brotherhoods. Totally agree. But owning a house is not a requirement for that.
I can't speak about professional or honorary GLOs being fraternities, never having joined any.
But I can say that the service GLOs that I am aware of (APO, GSS, OPA) are most certainly not 'posers'. You're not just being 'smartassity', you're being stupid and insulting.
