I don't understand frats. Let me pay a bunch of money on top of tuition to be part of a group that requires me to almost die of alcohol poisoning in order to join. Sure brotherhood and connections and all but still never even contemplated it.

The only people who go on and on about the brotherhood of fraternities are total dorks.

It's a social club. You pay a few grand a semester to hang out with dudes you like and pay for your house, your band parties, sometimes room and board, etc. It's pooling resources for like minded people. It happens during pretty significant coming of age years, so it is natural you'll form some lifelong friendships. But most people probably aren't in touch with 90% of their fraternity within 5 years of leaving.
