But, to a man, they said that it was easy because they'd already been exposed to pressure situations so having to recite the day's menu or chopping corners were really no big deal. Plus, they were mature enough to know that it's not something to be taken personally.

Obviously, being a plebe and being a pledge isn't EXACTLY the same thing but I think there are enough similarities that you could draw a comparison.

I think you would have a lot to offer a fraternity and you should give it a shot

Oh my goodness. You just gave me crazy flashbacks. Lmao I went to USNA for a year before I had to leave to take care of some family issues in Mexico. I know several men who pledged their fraternities (city-wide chapters?) after Plebe year. You just have to remember to be humble for one. And like minded guys drift together, so hopefully you are drawn to men who are more mature and you feel comfortable with. Also check with the veterans center on your campus and maybe see if any other veterans are in fraternities?
