It's really very simple.

Research them. Contact them. Meet them.

Look at all of the fraternities on campus. And don't only decide on one right now based on what you read. If you were at school already and knew some of the members of the different fraternities, that'd be a whole other story. Because getting along with your brothers is obviously important. For now, keep an open mind.

Get in touch with the fraternities. Maybe not right now, as it's too early if you're just starting your senior year. But maybe contact them over the summer. Say that you are interested in Greek life, and ask them when they are having recruitment events. And when you do contact them, no matter what means of communication you use, sound intelligent! In this respect, research will help, so if you do talk to a member on the phone, you might be able to ask them about scholarship programs, philanthropies, leadership opportunities, etc.

When you get to college, meet them. Make it a point to go to anything and everything where Greek members might be. Go to recruitment events on top of other activities where you think fraternities members will be present. Just talk to them. And making nice with sorority members might not be a bad idea, either.
