I think it's important to note that membership in ANY fraternal organization, while fun and social, is also set up to prepare you for life after college. In our ideals, if we choose to live them as we should, we are expected to act and learn in ways that will make us better men and women.
I love my social events as much as the next person. But when it comes down to it, dressing up for a meeting shouldn't be a big deal in the long run. No matter how tired you are in the corporate world, you're expected to be dressed professionally every day; to look and act presentable. I miss the days where I only had to dress up for an hour or two once a month. Now that I do it for 8-11 hours for 5 days a week for months at a time, well... even if I were bloated and whiny, I'd still have to suck it up and be present. And then I miss college a little more each day.
Welcome to the real world, cupcake. It sucks.
