Clemson Fraternities

Here's another idea. Are you involved in anything like FCA or Campus Crusade for Christ? Ask your fellow members in those groups what they think.

I know I'm out of my lane on this, but doesn't the same thing we say for sorority recruitment also apply here? I mean every fraternity is bound to have some wild partiers and some guys that never miss their Bible studies (and maybe even members who do both). Go through recruitment and see where you feel comfortable, but be open to the fact that in fraternity recruitment and in life, not everyone is going to be like you. However if they like you as a person, it shouldn't be a problem.

Meh...

Every chapter does have all types, however fraternity chapters are typically smaller so there's less wiggle room if the prevailing attitude in the fraternity is not one that you are comfortable with. Furthermore there are chapters that have a pervasive culture that the OP would not be comfortable with at all - fraternities are much more likely to have a party culture that permeates all facets of chapter operations.

That is generally true that fraternities are generally smaller, but there is also usually more of a variety of them as well.

If it's any consolation to the OP, I know a Christian nondrinker who is in a fraternity at Clemson. So there's at least one out there.

This is true, but completely misses the point of my post - that the same advice doesn't really apply to fraternities.

There are likely fraternity men in these groups and other groups on campus as well.
