<p>To clarify and redirect:</p>
<p>True, I must take what parents say with a grain of salt, and students too for that matter.
But for my specific fear, it’s a bit different. I consider myself very social and outgoing, and I do enjoy going to parties and getting wasted, from time to time that is. I also enjoy doing other things, but the ideal college experience definitely includes partying, which some posters interpret to mean that you either party and have fun, or not party and do other fun activities, whereas I want a mix of both.</p>
<p>It would seem that pledging is out of the question, considering it’s not worth the drop in grades to me, which are the reason I’m there. And to get a decent job or good grad school I’ll need to work my ass off, and memorizing fraternity stuff and staying up all night to do it doesn’t sound fun.</p>
<p>With that said:</p>
<p>Is it possible for a social and outgoing guy to go to big ragers without being in a frat or being “creative”</p>
<p>To clarify: I’m not asking if I can have fun otherwise, i know i can, but rather, can i get into the big parties basically whenever I feel like going, being a sociable guy.</p>
