It depends on your career, and your fraternity, and what you do with your fraternity.

Many fraternities have programs of leadership development and service - if you participate in these, you will gain career skills and have something that looks good on a resume.

In some jobs, if the person making hiring decisions is a member of the same fraternity that you are, it will get you special preference, or so I’ve been told. Also, I’m sure that most fraternities give you lots of chances to network with alumni who may be able to open doors for you.

Every school has a different procedure for joining fraternities - you should find out the procedures for the schools you’re considering. In pretty much any case, it’s not only your decision - a house is allowed to turn you down even if you are interested in it.
