Why did I join?
I don't think it ever occured to me not to rush. I grew up in a family that had strong Greek ties going back to before the Civil War, and most of us have gone into the same house.. A lot of my Dad's friends were guys he had known since college and most were Greek. A lot were from his (our) fraternity and there is a strong Alumni organization here as well. Both my Grandfathers are still active in their (our) alumni org and I can't remember a time when we were not involved up to our eyeballs. I suppose I just took it for granted that going Greek was part of the college experience. I had a great four years and made some great friends among the brothers. They are still my closest friends and I hope this will continue throughout my life. I do not think my college experience would have been as great if I had attended one that did not have a greek system. Between college and law school when I was on active duty I was pleased to see that lots of the new junior officers were Greek and it seemed that a large majority of the non-academy senior officers were Greek. Its just been a part of my life always.
