College frat?

now, for those of you in college, or those of you who are recently out of college - I'm looking at two frats and I'm wondering if there is a repultation about one or the other that I should know about.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) OR Sigma Phi Epsilon (Sig Ep)

So if any of you know anything about this two, let me know...otherwise vote for which one I should join!!!

I have heard a few bad things about frats, but the parties are supposed to be good

If you are serious about college then don't join a frat house. You will never be able to get anything done. But if you are at college strictly to party, join either.

SAE has the highest GPA on campus (3.07) - Sigma Phi's GPA is 2.97.

Yeah, it helps that most frats maintain a "library" of old tests and notes that members can use as "study aids."

You have to pay to be in a frat. Essentially you're paying for a group of new friends. If you're going to join something why not a club sport team or something, at least that way you're doing more than 12 oz. curls and living in some rat infested house.

What does that have to do with being homosexual?

I get the impression you don't like frats very much? Shame...it's good stuff.

Frats do kind of suck, Never have any quiet time, your mac will be knocked off of your desk by a drunk fellow frater. And your entire house is trashed :( It's like a colt ;)

Actually, your dues go towards insurace, national dues, and upcoming events. People who have no idea what fraternities are really about, and are jealous, usually say what you said though. I've heard it a thousand times.

My college is too small to have any Greek life.

Then again, since there are no guys, it's just like one big sorority. :D

I've thought about going into civilization to a frat at one of the bigger schools, but I don't have the guts to do it. Still, I have heard that there are cute boys there. ;)
