Were you in a frat?

Phi Delta Theta at NWMSU.

Like Knapp said most of the guys are down to earth. I spend half of my undergrad independent (non greek) and half in the greek system. I thought they were pretty stupid for the most part until i got involved. I have a ton of pluses from my time and no regrets. Some of the best experiances of my life came from the fraternity and the people i meet through it

 
Sometimes I wish I would have been in college back in the 80's I had heard stories from friends older brothers about kegs all over, the lack of "fear" from the school over drinking. Man, that must have been sweet!

I could only imagine what it must have been like to be sitting on the big deck or in the front yard, with a drink and not worrying about getting "busted". Or having the doors wide open on gameday when alums come in and out of the house and grab a drink or two.

I know there are some places that still embrace that, some of the Big 10 schools are still like that and lots of the schools in the south.
I enjoyed our parties and partook in my fair share of shenanigans, but honestly the parties were not my best memories of being in a fraternity or of college as a whole. A lot of them involved large quantities of alcohol but not necessarily huge parties with tons of people you don't know. Also, I'm sure that there's quite of a bit of inflation with how awesome thing use to be before schools and insurance made it impossible to have huge parties with live music and kegs. People having a good time is fun; alcohol poising, rape, violence and massive property destruction is not fun. Fortunately we never had to deal with a rape in our house (goodbye charter) but the other stuff, yes.
