True.
But you never know. The key is to start meeting people NOW, as many as you can, who are fraternity members. Many of the fraternities have summer rush parties where they choose their members.
You might want to contact the fraternities directly (through their websites) to let them know you're interested.
IFC Preview Day is March 24-

There are Greek Affairs meet-and-greets in several cities this spring. Go to one if it's near you:

There are 26 IFC fraternities at UA and brotherhood and lifelong friendships can be found at all of them, not just a few.
