Hi Sverige,
This particular sentence caught my eye and I wanted to know if you could clarify something for me. Is the fraternity system you were a part of located at a university in the United States, or was it somewhere else, like Europe? I noticed that you are located in Sweden and that only adds to my curiosity.
I ask because there is a big difference between the US and Europe. Though I'm currently living in the UK, I'm an American from Southern California. While at university in the Los Angeles area, I had some neighbours upstairs who were exchange students from Germany. One of them had been in a fraternity in Stuggart. He even showed me pictures of these guys having crazy parties and participating in silly boat races and the like. I got the idea that thier concept of a "fraternity" was very different from ours.
I'm not saying it's wrong, just different. So, I want to make sure that you are not trying to compare two different concepts.
