if you don't give it a try and go thru the recruitment process, you will not receive a bid-ya gotta give it a try. try to keep your options open to maximize your choices.
having friends in chapters at your school should be some advantage, because they can speak on your behalf. getting to know the other brothers is key, because you will still need to make a good impression on the other brothers. you can certainly ask your friends who are fraternity members for advice on what to wear and how to act at the parties.
think about what you could bring to that chapter-how your joining would enhance that chapter. for instance, if you are involved in student government, many chapters would consider that an asset. are you a good student? every chapter needs guys with good gpa's.are you really into sports-you could help them out with their intramurals. just be subtle in bringing up those things-you want to be able to introduce your assets into a conversation without it appearing that you are bragging. then again, your friends could mention the fact that you are involved in _____ on campus or that you made the deans list, but still like to have a good time so that you don't have to bring it up.
good luck to you
