Okay, so I'm a sophomore and my last chance to join a frat is this semester.  I'm thinking it would be good for me, but my schedule is already pretty demanding.  

I have 17 hours of classes set up and, because I waited this late in the summer to make this decision, I haven't saved the money I would need to pay dues and will probably have to get a part time job to pay them.  

Is it advisable for me to go through with this? Do the positives outweigh the insane amount of work this would entail?

17 hours is a good bit of work, thank you very much.  Also, I'm an A student so I'm expecting to be able to dedicate plenty of time to studying, etc.  I'd probably work three shifts  week or so.  It's a big school so I'd probably have plenty of job opportunities.  Does anyone know exactly how much time I should expect to have to dedicate to the frat?

blueballz.... it depends on wat frat u wanna join...

1. if its social, then prepare to be destroyed and fail some classes

2. it its professional/community service, then it depends on whether you are gonna get anything out of it....

I'm in a professional frat and i've have to admit that my grades went a little down but not failing... but throughout rushing, i learned how to manage my time and stuff like that... so i feel better off now...

All Frats are gonna tell you: don't join just for the connections, join because you want to join and you believe in the frat...
