Parties.
To get laid.
To have a nice place to live.
Frat boys.
Did I cover them all?

I joined so that I could become part of a "secret society so powerful, it could give me everything that I desire.....at a price".
C'mon, didn't you guys see "The Skulls"? (....huffs and walks away)

You are fine for asking. Ignore the heinous bitches on this site who get their panties in a wad because someone made a thread that has already been done before. If they get pissed.....that would be a strong indication that they have been on GC for entirely too long and have little to no social life or life in general.
I joined my fraternity to make connections, make some damn good friendships, carry on my family's legacy, be in a top chapter, party balls, meet hot sorostitutes, entertain pledges, rush trips etc. etc. etc.

I joined my society because I was bored and wanted to do something for a month. This week is the start of my 5th year of being Greek. I'm no longer bored.

I don't think MysticCat was necessarily trying to make a point.
Maybe he was just pointing the existence of the earlier threads for information purposes. They could still be relevant.
Most people who are making the point you are referring to tend to come right out and say it, no holds barred.
"Reading too much between the lines" is often the culprit in things get blown up much more than they have to be.

Ok I am learning the ways of this chat...the only reason I truly thought a new spin on this question is mainly for the fact that spring 07 brings new opportunities for membership for those interested...
For me, between just having completed reading PLEDGED and the hoopla about the possible Tyra Banks' episode on supposedly fulfilling her "dream of rushing a sorority house"--it occured to me to ask is this still special, relevant and why??
No political relevance, no deep hidden meanings, no between the lines...
just why the hell do it, did you like it, why did you select whichever house gave you a bid, and truely, why would you tell a newbie to participate in this 21st century spin of an old fashioned form of perpetual friendship and brotherhood/sisterhood???
{Answer the thread, ignore it but no more wasted time tossing it around..please not needed surely all of you have more important things to ponder.}

Pretty much. (Did it ever work in the first place?)
And macallan25, it's not that I'm opposed to starting new threads when old ones are stale...but it's just that kind of touchy-feely BS question that everyone gives the same PC I'm-talking-to-a-rushee type answer to.

I rushed because my boyfriend had just joined a fraternity and a lot of the brothers seemed to be dating girls in sororities. I stayed because I finally found some normal girls at our farmy school.

My cousin actually rushed a fraternity at his school for that reason. He dropped out when he realized that if he joined he'd actually have to pay for the beer.
