Is it best to join a frat? Or no?
I highly recommend it. While it's definitely not for everybody, a lot of guys looking to crank up their game on multiple levels in college will benefit from joining.
If you don't want to/can't afford it that's fine, just remember there are two types of people who DON'T join fraternities: GDIs and Non-Greeks
Non Greeks are the guys who just feel like the whole scene just isn't for them. They may have financial conflicts, or they just straight up don't feel like it. They may have friends that are Greek, or go over to the houses often, they just aren't members. They have no problem with fraternities as a whole. Many of my closest friends are non Greeks.
A GDI (God damn independent) is a person who goes out of their way to constantly bash on Greek culture. They think they're the shit by constantly bragging about how they didn't have to buy their friends or how frat guys are just all dirty creeps. These are the same guys who beta orbit girls who my friends and I wouldn't look twice at. To sum it up nicely: They just don't get it.
Hans has it right.
If it works for you financially and socially, do it. But don't force it. Find a group you work with and go there.
Fraternity life will make game easier for you... but isn't an end all.
I'd slept with more girls as a highschooler than most of the guys in a couple of the frats I looked into had in their entire life.
Its not a requirement... but it will definitely open doors.
I ended up joining none... the pledge process was too time consuming and cut into my gym and fitness routines too heavily among other issues.
I have close Greek and non Greek friends... and sleep with Greek and non Greek girls.
Just avoid becoming the militant geed who hates all frats and isolates himself from valuable social groups as a result... or the fraternity die hard who refuses to acknowledge that life, pussy, or money making opportunities exist outside of Greek lettering.
Both of these mentalities cost you potential lays, friends, and memories because you're closing doors in your own face for no reason.
