Greek life virgin! Would this be weird? Desperate for help!

[southerngent111]

So here's my whole situation:

My brother and sister are both huge nerds who went to Ivy League schools (nothing against smart people, but it's just they had perfect grades, but almost no social life) and parents are both doctors who also studied constantly. Therefore, none of my family members were ever involved in sororities or fraternities (not even my relatives were involved in Greek life!). And because of this, I have absolutely nobody to talk to about the whole frat process.

Anyway, after I finish my senior year of high school, I hope to go to Auburn University. And at such a southern school, you pretty much have to be involved in the Greek scene (don't even try to deny that). But as stated before, I have so many questions, but nobody is able to answer them!

This leads me to my main question... While going through the different AU fraternities, this one specific frat attracted me (and of course it is considered to be one of the "top 5" frats). I decided to go through the officers, and noticed one guy that looked really familiar. I looked him up on Facebook, and it turns out that he went to my same prep school and graduated about 4 years ago.

Do you think it'd be weird if I Facebook messaged this dude just explaining how I found him and then just ask him the questions I had? What do ya'll think? Also, keep in mind that this is a pretty popular guy at the University and we do NOT know each other at ALL (he probably wouldn't even recognize me). I'm just worried that he'll be like, "What the hell is this kid doing?" Is there really anything I could lose from messaging him?

Help me out, guys!
