<p>Your not paying for friendship in frats usually because that implies that anyone with money can join it which is not true, they pick guys that would suit their frat not any random person willing to pay, and a frat would never sustain it’s self unless everyone chips in to pay for events/house bills/food/beer. Its basically the same as renting a house with your friends but you have a group name and organized events, so technically it’s not “buying friendship”, people who say that are usually the ones who did not receive offers from their desired frat/sorority. Lastly, frats are fun for all their events and what not but the main point is for a good group of people to party with so if that kind of thing doesn’t really interest you, maybe just hang out with friend outside of a frat with the same interests.</p>
