I'm not sure that this is a question that can be accurately responded to (for me, at least).
I really don't know what it is to be male, and I would imagine that men join fraternities for reasons different from why women join sororities or women's fraternities. True, there might be fraternities and sororities that have similar purposes, but fundamentally, I imagine that the men's experience in their fraternity would be different from the women's experience in their fraternity.
I can admire a fraternity's purpose, goals and ideals, and even hope that them men in my life embody those ideals (perhaps by even affiliating with that fraternity). Yet I think that would be the extent of it - admiration and appreciation, without the wish for affiliation.
Having said that (
), I most admire the goals and ideals of Triangle Fraternity - they place a value on brotherhood, as well as individual brothers' development as a person and a professional. I have much love for the brothers of the
Oklahoma Chapter. I'd encourage any young man to check them out!
