I don’t think too many DCUM kids need to worry about getting invited to fraternity parties.

My senior son has gotten invites to parties and was taken to lunch over the holidays by the rush chair of a fraternity.

+1 rush has already started

Well presumably one has a lot more alcohol, for starters.

Both help the kid prepare for college. It’s not like most private school kids aren’t already drinking.

Why? My kid is well adjusted and will be joining a frat. It’s the obvious bet for finding the most exclusive peer and dating pool.

We did that! We visited over parents weekend when a lot of parents go to the frats. It was really fun!

Your kid needs to find someone they know in a frat and go. Don’t bring a parent

How is this any different from sitting in on a class? You might as well let your kids learn.

Stiffler's mom?

Some schools have a weekend(s) where greek orgs have events that are open to high school seniors who know older people in the fraternities. It is not unheard of for parents to attend but only if they know someone or have a relative in the fraternity. Or are alums. It really just depends on the school and the organization.

But I can say that random parents and high schoolers cannot just walk up and attend.

No one who is a parent or who is in high school has any business at a frat party.
