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.

I was wondering the same thing. It would be hard for a greek in the Midwest to compare their greek experience with someone in the south so how would someone in another country be able to compare their Greek life to the US?
I'm really sorry that you only joined your greek organization to hook up with girls. Since that was the case, I wouldn't find it hard to understand why your greek experience was unfulfilling. I know a lot of people who chose to join a greek organization their junior year and they definitely did a lot more stupid stuff before they joined a sorority. On my former campus, people know that all eyes are on them and are waiting for them to make a mistake. It causes a lot of people to watch what they say and do more than they did when they were not in a greek organization because they don't want to represent their organization in a bad manner.
