I joined for pretty much all the standard reasons. The University of Illinois is a huge school, and I wanted to be a part of something so I could "find my niche" on campus. There was also the prestige of being part of one of the largest Greek systems in the country.
I chose to join my particular house mostly because they are a bunch of good, honest, regular guys. My house was very diverse, so there was never any worry about "fitting in." And of course, there's the partying aspect, meeting lots of new people, making good friends and memories, and having a place to stay when I go back to school to visit.
