I'm a transfer student at Southern Illinois University who is intrested in joining a particular fraternity. I attended an RSO fair where every (active) organization was there. I met the members for the first time and introduced myself. They ask about whether I know anything about the fraternity, and I (in less than 45 seconds) said everything that I knew about the fraternity without screwing up. They was impressed, and asked for my information. Now days go by, I see em' around campus. I say whats up. try to keep my distance. NEVER SAID That I wanted to Join. on a friday one of the men somehow instructed me to "Donate" some alcohol and bring it to his house. I don't know why but I did just for the hell of it. when we both met up, He asked me some questions that I don't think has anything to do with my interests. He asked me was I a virgin, because i "sound" like I don't get any @$$. I could not believe he asked me that question. Then he instructed me to study a poem called "Invictus," and memorize it the next day. I have not seen this guy in 2 days already, and I'm not really going to look for him either.

I feel like i'm already being pre-pledged and not even know about it. It's not like I ever said that I want to be in this fraternity. all I did was recite what i kno. None of the other guys know that this is happening, but i'm confused. How should I handle this situation? should I be happy that i'm being prepledge, or should I pull back from befriending with this frat member before he gets the wrong Idea of me. I don't want to screw up my chances to be apart of an organization of brotherhood thats bigger than myself, nor do I want to be labled as someones BI**H, like he can take advantage of me and the decision of me pledging lies in his hands. do I just do what they say or should I fall back. because no matter what happenes, My education always come first. but after that should I focus on how i would prove that I would make a good brother or just enjoy my junior year as a student at SIU? please give me some advice.
