Last week, I got coffee with one of my friends from home, who also went Greek. As we shared lattes and stories about what classes we miraculously passed and which fraternities we borrowed composites from, she flipped through the pages of a People magazine next to us and sighed, “Man, I wish fraternity guys at our schools looked more like celebs, you know?” Apparently, a solid amount of Hollywood A-listers are Greek and proud to wear their letters....

You have made one of the biggest decisions of your life to go to college. Congratulations! However, that’s not the only decision that you’ll have to make when it comes to college life. Another important decision that you’ll probably make is the decision to go Greek in college.

So when these stories break, they don't feel abstract to me anymore.

And honestly, reading through it as a guy who just graduated last year, it hit different than I expected. Not because it was shocking. Because it wasn't.

If you're a freshman woman walking onto campus this fall with zero context about Panhellenic formal recruitment, I want you to hear this from someone who has watched the whole process up close for years - not from a pamphlet, not from a chapter's Instagram highlights reel.

Before I joined a fraternity, I tailgated exactly twice in college - once for a homecoming game I barely cared about, and once because my roommate dragged me out at 9am on a Saturday. Both times I stood around feeling slightly out of place, like I'd wandered into someone else's tradition. Then I joined Sigma Alpha Epsilon the spring of my sophomore year, and honestly, the tailgate experience became a completely different thing. Not just because of the chapter, but because I finally had context for why these traditions exist and what makes some of them genuinely legendary.<
