I really feel like I fit the the fraternity life style. I read TFM and wear vineyard vines, I golf, ski, and lax. The only problem i have little to no connections at these schools, and fear being from the north may discount me from the get go. I dont even mind being in a mid tier house, as long as I still get that brotherhood experience. Are the odds stacked against me? Or am I over thinking it and will find my niche?
Thanks

The odds are stacked against you because you talk about TFM, being white and preppy, and house tiers. You sound like a try-hard in your post. There are reasons that a lot of fraternity men wear the clothes they do and engage in the activities they do, but it's not to be "fratty" or whatever. In other words — we don't do it because it's fratty; it's fratty because we do it.
