<< Seeing that with just about any fraternity you join you make friends and CONNECTIONS for life, how exactly is that renting. The amount of help you can recieve from your brothers in the future greatly surpasses any dues you have to pay while in school. Think about that before you bash it next time maybe. >>
The implication here is that it requires a frat to make connections and friends. This could not be farther from the truth.
Frats, at least where I attended school, were nothing more than a excuse to party. Academics for most of them are only an after thought. If frats really cared about their organizations, they would do more to clean up the ones that exist only to party. Sadly, this is not the case.
I am sure frats would be viewed much differently if they required their members to maintain a 3.0 or better avg to stay in the frat.
GDI is really the only way to go.
