This isn't what the OP originally proposed.

He was going to contact a dude he said he had NO connection with, other than having gone to the same prep school several years apart, apparently had no friends in common with, and ask him about fraternity rush. That's creepy and stalkery, regardless of where your fraternity falls in the social pecking order and regardless of how desperate they are for guys. Not until well in the thread did he mention he had some mutual friends with the guy in question.

The thing that scares me most is that he didn't think of asking the mutual friends to talk to their friend FIRST. The first thing he thought of was random contact on facebook. Is this generation really that socially inept?
