There is nothing wrong with joining frats and sororites. I'm in a sorority which originally was based on community service (and still is), but we still manage to throw some of the best parties on campus with a portion of the proceeds going to various charities around our city. Different ones have different rules, as do different chapters. For example, my university's chapter of my sorority have to keep at least a 3.0 or else we get put on probation. Yes, you have to pledge - my line and I crossed in Fall 04 - and it's expensive. At my school (and most like it), there aren't big posters everywhere advertising the probate - a lot of people hear about them by invitation only or by word of mouth. The major Greeks I know about are...
Frats:
Omega Psi Phi (also known as the Ques)
Alpha Phi Alpha
Kappa Alpha Psi
Phi Beta Sigma
Groove Phi Groove (more a social group than a frat, though)
Sororities:
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc
Alpha Kappa Alpha (the AKAs)
Zeta Phi Beta
Sigma Gamma Rho
Swing Phi Swing (more of a social group)
There are also various academic and specialised frats/sororities (Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma, for example).
Note: I attend an HBCU, so all I can tell you about are the well-known historically black fraternites and sororities. Things might be different with PWIs.
