1. lol the frats are bordering-on-desperate for people (though, depends on the frat). You don’t have to be invited, there are too many frats relative to interest.

2. I don’t think it’s that difficult but I don’t know the details. Hazing isn’t much of a problem compared to other schools.

3. Yes but a minority of the frat lives there. It isn’t like Northwestern where frats have practically entire dorms to fit everyone. First years are required to live off campus, but you can do whatever you want after. Chances are you don’t want to live in the frat house, yikes

4. Yes

5. Probably not, but depends on the frat. This is something you should scope out BEFORE you try to join

6. Easy at the cost of social capital

Don’t come in with the idea that you are lucky to join a frat. Keep the attitude that the frats are lucky to have you. Don’t rush off to join. Wait at least a few quarters to scope out the situation and see which frats you like and which ones you don’t, they vary a lot. If you just want to join a frat for the networking and you are less interested in maximal access to partying (you will still have access to most parties without being in a frat), there are way better ways to network.
