I suppose since most of you are freashmen, you will have been introduced to the tribes and clubs. I, as a freshman, have also been subjected to the many fliers, posters, personal greetings, and meetings for these groups. I am not sure what to think though.
Since I am a guy, I will obviously would join a club, not a tribe. :) I went to the ISEC meeting, and I was somewhat unimpressed, however I am told the fun will "pick up" once rush starts. I am just not sure what to do about joining. The Pro's of joining are (from my understanding):
More Friends
Being part of a "brotherhood"
Having events to go to
Being more involved on Campus
Making an impact on you friends
However I do see some con's. Some of the clubs definitely do not set a good example for anyone. During one of the meetings, I was approached by a member of a club which will go un-named, and was told, and I quote "Dude, we got a house off campus that we can get drunk at and have wild parties." That bums me out a bit I have to say. Also, I don't want to feel like I have to do everything the club does. I play a sport off campus, I play with a music group, and I have alot of friends who are not going to Rush.
I am going to rush, but i am not sure what my decision, if any, will be. Anyone have any comments? Are you going to rush? Why or why not?

sounds like you have a good pro/con list and your concerns are legitimate. as you get to know the guys better i think you will get a good feel for the various clubs and see if any of the them are right for you. you'll make the right choice :)
That is sort of a bummer. What was your decision? Did you pledge?
