Made a post about this in another thread but I believe it's an important enough point that everyone needs to see. During rush, too many people unfortunately sell their fraternity based only on the social experiences surrounding it, and often neglect the other perks that go along with being a member (which I get because most rushees are dumb-ass freshmen who think only about partying). Almost all chapters are national or international organizations that are over well over 100 years old (some are even older than A&M) and have well established alumni connections. With these connections come great scholarship opportunities and the ability to connect with brothers from other universities across the country. Personally I have been able to travel to several other colleges and hung out with the brothers in other chapters and had a great time. Also during a job interview my now boss noticed that I was in the same fraternity as his son at another university. Although it ceratainly wasn't the only reason I got this job, I strongly believe it helped in some bit. There are several other benefits like this that you simply cannot receive with joining a Men's Org but I don't feel like listing them. I have to note that I'm not trying to bash Men's Orgs and have several good friends in them. If your parents are the type of people who will never let you join a fraternity, then I do recommend them and you will probably have a good experience. However, if you want to join an organization that you can be a part of or benefit you after graduation, rush a fraternity.
