Rudy,
We see posts like this all the time - rather than hear from others, find out for yourself - go through rush at each chapter/colony on campus - your perceptions on the organization best for you is more valuable than others opinions. This is the best way to make the decision, after all, it will affect you for your entire lifetime. Choose wisely.
As for parties, please understand that while parties seem to be the big draw in the past, things are changing. This is mainly due to the fact they were such a big draw - they created too many risk management issues that greeks today are having to face from greeks past. This change is beneficial to you - it is re-focusing GLO's back to their true original founding ideals...while a good social life is usually one of those ideals, greeks did stray from a "responsible" social life.
This is not to mean all fraternities are going to be "milk and cookie" boys - far from it. We are going to become the leaders of character and leadership again that we were known for in the past, and, having a good time as well.
Best wishes to you - I hope you find an organization that fits you well, and that benefits you not only in the present, but for life.
