First off, I think for a lot of us, friends and the legacy factor has a lot to do with it. Many, many of us grew up around fraternity functions, tailgates with our dads and their pledge brothers, etc. So we already had a head start early on. The schools that most of us in the South typically go to also have a lot to do with it I think. There is quite a bit of commonality between where we chose to go, and where many of the older guys from our hometowns chose to go as well. Between, Texas, and SMU, TCU, Ole Miss, Alabama, Georgia, Texas Tech, W&L, Arkansas, LSU, Vanderbilt, etc. .......I could probably name 20 or 30 people easily at each place that I have known my whole life.
Having known all of these older guys that were all in solid fraternities made it great during high school because they would always invite us down to summer rush parties, rush trips, etc. Recruitment starts early down here.
With that said......when you take all of that and then add in the legacy factor, most of us knew exactly who we were going to pledge before we even got to college.
Now me personally? My dad was/is an SAE down here at Texas....I grew up around the fraternity and around his pledge brothers. Many of his friends have sons who were older than me that I grew up around and that all went SAE down here, so it made the decision pretty easy for me early on.
