Like ALS, I can't speak on fraternity experience but I joined AXiD as a 23 year old second semester college freshman after serving in the navy for 4 years. I was a colony member. My first semester in school, there was only 1 sorority on campus and I refused to join - thought I had already done 4 years of conforming to someone else's rules and regulations, and was too old for the BS... however, after my first semester, I realized I was super lonely. All my friends from high school who were still in my area had graduated and were doing "big boy and big girl" jobs and I was just a freshman working part time. So when AXiD was colonizing on campus, and I had the opportunity to help build it, AND meet people at the same time, I realized it was a pretty good fit.

I agree with the "just be honest" advice. Don't be a jerk, and don't act like you're too good to play the games. You already know how to play silly games. Just smile and nod and be a good sport without letting them do dangerous/hazing stuff....

Thank you for your service!
