Love it.
To the OP: it's a highly stylized view of what greek life is like at some schools. At other schools (SEC, small colleges, etc) it is barely relevant.
In real life Omega Chi would party pretty hard too.
The way rush works in the show, and pledging, is very different from 99% of the fraternities out there. Pledging would be shorter than a year (!) and sometimes much more intense and sometimes much less...depends on the college and specific chapter. At most schools fraternities have an unstructured rush meaning you pick what fraternities you want to rush instead of visiting them all in groups like Rusty did.
Take it with a grain (or a tablespoon) of salt.
