Should a guy like me pledge a fraternity?

[Gusteau]

I believe there's a place in Greek Life for (almost) everyone, so it can't hurt going through rush. Additionally, I think a lot of guys benefit from fraternity membership by becoming more confident, social, and outgoing.

No one can tell you about reputations or about which fraternity is best for you.

Gusteau is spot on. I think you will be amazed by the diversity of the fraternity chapters on your campus (and this is true for all campuses).

Just do yourself a favor and follow your heart. While "testimonials" may seen beneficial, they ignore the type of person YOU are. When you find your perfect fit, you will know.

The data shows a significant spike in several key areas of development. This spike occurs when individuals first join the fraternity, and continues to build cumulatively throughout their time in college.
