IMO fraternities are a lot like college in general: They are what you make of them.
I was never hazed. I simply would not put up with that. And in my 3.5 years in a fraternity, I made sure no one was ever hazed.
They can be a tremendous opportunity to learn leadership skills and the dynamics of an organization at a relatively early age. I found it fascinating, and valuable.
Of course, the access to sororities, and the opportunities springing therefrom, were a young man's dream come true. I still sometimes sit back and think of those years with amazement and gratitude.
