Being a Division I Athlete in a Fraternity

[DrPhil]

Case-by-case and chapter-by-chapter basis.

I advise every aspirant (athlete or nonathlete) to never go into it telling the members what you can and cannot do/will and will not do. Your athlete status is no secret so the fraternity men will probably already know that about you. Let your rigorous schedule be something that they consider after they note your awesomeness. You are not the first or last college student with a relatively inflexible and rigorous schedule (at your school and across schools); and you are not the first or last athlete who "pledged" a fraternity or sorority (either at your school or across schools).
