My father was in a fraternity which has since disbanded (the entire national, not just the chapter). He would never talk about it and basically denies his years of membership.
Mom went through rush, realized that she could not compete with the sorority girls (we are talking about a time during WWII) and dropped out the first day.
I was anti greek and only went through rush as a means of moving out of my parent's house a week early. If you went through rush, you could move into the dorms early with the only contingency being that you attend all the first day parties. If you dropped rush at that time, you could stay in the dorm until your dorm opened and could move in there. I had plans to go through the first day, drop and spend the rest of the rush period at the beach. Plans did not work out that way as I loved the first house I went to. Assumed they would all be the same. By the end of the day decided to stay in rush until KD dropped me and then go back to my beach plans (I had zero self-esteem and never thought I was good enough to join a sorority). Since KD never dropped me, I stayed and next thing I knew I pledged! Today I am the President of my AA. Greatest thing I ever did was go through rush.
