Pledging a fraternity can be a very daunting task, and although hazing and discrimination in Greek Life hasn’t been totally obliterated, the Greek system is slowly morphing into an esteemed establishment with an opportunity students shouldn’t be missing out on.
Whether you decide to pledge a “straight” or an LGBT fraternity, here are 16 reasons you should definitely pledge:
You will always know at least one person in every class…
And always have someone to cheat off of when you’re slacking off.
You’ll finally be able to put your choreo to good use…
Along with your artistic ability...
Your insane pop culture knowledge...
And your millions of hot girlfriends (as in girls who are friends, not like girlfriends).
You’ll be a major emotional asset to the chapter and act as a guiding light for guys who can’t read girls properly.
Cause connections, bro #networking.
You’ll instantly have a pre-established social circle that will be with you through every step of the college experience.
Your social life will NEVER suffer.
And you'll probably learn some pretty sick drinking tricks.
If you’re worried about getting hazed or being judged for being gay then join a fraternity that pledges against those attributes. 
You’ll also have a group of guys who would fight to the death for you, support you, and stick up for you.
You’ll successfully be able to drink like a champ.
And still have a killer bod.
Your "big brother" will be the mentor you’ve always needed.
Finally, as corny as it sounds, YOU WILL HAVE BROTHERS FOR LIFE.
