I really appreciate all your input, because I really didn't have a good handle of what is involved in a fraternity and didn't want to judge it based on what I've seen in movies. Thanks again for all your honest and frank responses..it was a big help.

Word to the wise:
You were an interest who came to Greekchat to type to (mostly older than college age) members of fraternities (and sororities). Refrain from appearing to blow smoke up your own ass since you are the one who came here claiming to be interested in a fraternity. The fraternity was not pursuing you.
It is fine if you have done additional research and have changed your mind. Do not embed your decision in there being something wrong with the fraternities. There are many fraternities with different age ranges and different cultures. Good luck with whatever else you have found.
