Hello everone! My name is Jon Byrd, and I live in Branson Missouri. I am going to collage soon, and moving to Southern CA this May. I want to join a Fraternity, but know nothing, I mean NOTHING about them. Where I come from Fraternities are looked down on bad. We had a student at a local collage die like 6 years ago in a hazing. But, anyway, I want as much info as anyone can give me. I dont even know what Fraternities are at the school I am going to, so if anyone has any web pages that will help me search, please send them to me! Thanks guys!

Hey there Jon! Let us know what college you're going to. Greek life varies from region to region. But in So Cal there are HUGE differences from school to school.

If you look on the website for your school, there should be a page that has all of the frats/sororities. It may list some info about the individual chapters (like info about their house, if there is one, when they were founded at your school, what kinds of functions they have, etc.) After looking at that you may want to look at the webiste for individual frats (the national pages, I mean). When you get to school, talk to people, they can tell you what's up. At my school, the webpage is pretty good, but it's not updated very quickly (one of the listed frats is no longer on campus), but the info online is a good way to see the attitude of the house.
