One thing that I think is so fundamental to fraternity/sorority life that it's often overlooked by members: if you're in a fraternity, you have to enjoy, at least on some level, a lot of interaction with a lot of different men. Similarly, I have female friends who could never be in a sorority, simply because they couldn't handle that many girls in one place, and the drama would just outweigh the benefits of sisterhood to them. This manifests itself as the stereotype of the "frat guy" who is always hanging out with six to seven other guys, and the "sorority girl" who never goes anywhere without a cloud of her girls in her wake. Does this make sense?
