I've never really considered joining a fraternity, but maybe I could carry on the family tradition. Is it easier to get in if an immediate family member was a brother? Thanks

Replies unconditionalS2 Posted at 4:27 pm on Jan. 31, 2008 usually yes. If you have any kind of family member in the frat or sorority, you are called a legacy. You get an instant bid to pledge and usually you will make it through pledging no matter how crappy you do. smartlake Posted at 10:17 pm on Jan. 15, 2008 Well, you'd probably be given a bid card, but getting in is a whole other story.   teeny Posted at 3:39 pm on Jan. 2, 2008 If someone in your very close family, ie. brother or father, pledged then yes, but other then that I would say no.
