[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like he hasn't found his place on campus or made friends, which is pretty common at that age. After adolescence, forming bonds takes more effort than during childhood because self-consciousness makes it harder to let down walls. The hack for getting around this problem is to join a fraternity.

Pledgeship forces those walls down, creating the kind of fast friendships he probably made as a kid. By the end of the process, he won’t be asking to come home. When you talk to him on the phone or see him on breaks, he'll be talking about his college friends and experiences instead of reminiscing about high school or wishing things were the way they used to be.

He’ll also be set for the next three years: god status on campus, access to the best parties, tailgates, and girls, and a lucrative network that will open doors after graduation. There’s a reason fraternity men have higher GPAs, graduation rates, and starting salaries than GDIs.[/quote]

Being social and a normcore sports loving guy who likes to drink is enough.  Don't have to join a frat.

Extroversion, family HHI, and acceptable looks probably explain most of what PP attributes to frat membership.[/quote]
