Question on Rushing in my 30s (Fraternity)

[CrackerBarrel]

Does your service fraternity have a very elaborate ritual which is conducted once a week, a 150 year history, a rigorous 10+ week pledging process, a situation where almost everything about your college experience involves your fellow members, you live with all your closest friends, and you know they will be some of your best friends for the rest of your life? Because that's what makes my fraternity a "brotherhood", not just the fact that we choose to describe it as one.

You are really over-selling it. There's no reason why this thread should be making you feel like you need to defend and justify your social fraternity.

I'm sorry he takes pride in his organization, and wants to distinguish himself from someone who merely puts on greek letters but has no real concept of what they mean to him.
