If you count living in dorms as a fraternity then, yes, other wise I am not.

ughh, no.
For the most part I didn't join one because it drops you into a rather pressured environment against my morals.
I thought the same too until I found Beta Theta Pi. They're founded on 'men of principle,' and while not all principles are agreed on, there is a strict guideline of no hazing, no law-breaking, and no alcohol.
At my college, either you join a fraternity or have no social life. I opted for the former.

Well.......is a book club a fraternity?
I'm in an honor society for philosophy majors at my university, but it's not a fraternity, strictly speaking, and I'm not a philosophy major either (but I'm pretty sure they don't know that).
All the actual fraternities at my university are either shrines of alcoholism and date rape or organizations dedicated to cronyism... sort of analogous to a college student trade union.

So I see Oklahoma hasn't changed in the three years I've been gone.
It's good to hear that not all fraternities are packed to the brim with drunken, sex-crazed Halo players.
Of course, I doubt those fraternities have chapters in Oklahoma, but, it's still good to know they exist.

It was fun to go out to get something to eat at the mcdonalds on friday and saturday night. Due to the location if people wanted to get food after partying at the clubs they pretty much could only walk there as they weren't that bright and ended up passed out all the time.
The best part was when they were walking back to the dorm (even though I lived in an alcohol and drug-free dorm, including smoking), they could barely get the door open and usually passed out somewhere on the front lawn, only to have their friends drag them inside.

All the fraternities where I live are all like the Mafia, where you don't insult them and they're always like in a Cold War-esque state of being between each other.
Of course, where I live... we don't have a mafia, or a mob. We have something very similar, though:
4-H.
I mean, come on! You don't mess with 4-H, unless you want to wake up with a cow head in your bed. >_<

lol, I was in 4-H. Some of those kids were WILD. And you're right, you didn't mess with any one of them, or else you had the wrath of 50 cornbread-and-beans-fed, steer-ropin', cow-brandin' cowboys to contend with. The good thing was that as a female, it was like having a ton of older brothers. If a guy started messing with a girl, he had the other guys to deal with, and it wasn't pretty.
And not a fraternity, but I was in a service sorority calle Gamma Sigma Sigma in college. While there were some wilder members, most of us weren't that crazy. We had parties and socials, but as far as alcohol/drugs was concerned, it was nothing even close to most of the social sororities on our campus. We had to do a TON of community service in order to remain in the group, so we didn't have a lot of time to get in trouble.

Trouble doesn't take time, all it takes is a slip and your headed down a very steep slope :\

True. I guess I should clarify... our group had different priorities than most of the other sororities, it was more about helping others/doing charity work/being positive members of the community rather than what parties we were going to go to on the weekends. Some girls joined because they thought we'd be the same as the other sororities, but they usually didn't last too long.
Again, not saying all sororities are like that, but on my particular campus, that was the main theme of the other groups.

ya, unfortunately many people mistake being busy with something good as not falling in sin. Nothing against you or the sorority, I just believe in taking certain stances that help people question themselves and help them affirm their position.

A friend of my sister's was in 4-H, actually, she shows horses, or at least used to... she's kind of immature really and she had to deal with 10-20 other girls who were really really condescending because they were the types that were like "rich person's daughter I'm-better-than-you" kinds of people.
Funnily enough, I think the girls like that are all stupid. I went to a county fair to hand out free pop to random people with this church group and they would look down their nose at me or my friends and be like "Sorry, I don't drink soda pop. Too much sugar." or "no thanks..." with a sneer. You know, so she could fit her little form (she was like 5' tall and like 90 pounds) into the idiotic green riding suit coat thing they were all wearing... I mean, come on. If you're gonna be a snot about it, at least don't wear something that makes you look like a semi-retarded leprechaun.
Sorry. Anyway, my driver's ed teacher is like 68-70 years old and he just had his 50-year high school reunion with his university. Then he saw a friend who was in a different fraternity and got to joke about it. "Whaaat? You didn't come to the reunion? Weren't you invited?"
