My guess is these men have graduated or are nearing graduation from college and realized they failed at one of the most critical education paths in college- developing a lifelong network of friends and future colleagues - and they're trying to find a way-back machine. Sorority and fraternity life doesn't give that as a part of the membership packet; it comes from 4 years of close contact, project work and socializing with like-minded people. If you were one of those members who initiated, attend the minimum required events, and nothing else, you probably would be just slightly ahead of the guy who never joined at all, except for having access to the password protected part of the fraternity website.
If you join a civic organization and do the work that fraternity members did at 18 and 19 years old, you will be able to make up time pretty quickly, and compared to the fraternity man who graduates and loses all contact with his brothers, you'll be miles ahead. Just look down a different path.
