    Good for you. Had a bunch of friends go there and they loved it. One of the biggest colleges in the country, student wise. I just finished up at Florida State, i miss it already.

    When I left UCF in 98'... It was a completely different place than it is today. Great school, tons of fun. Oh, and Frats are a waste of time, there's 40,000 students at UCF, don't pay a fortune every semester to have only a few friends.

    I graduated UCF class of 2010. Enjoy all of the on campus arenas/stadiums. Sports wise your going at the right time. We should be looking to do big things in football and basketball the next 4 years.

    Congratulations man! Welcome to the UCF family! I just graduated this past Spring with a business management degree and completed the pre-reqs for dental school, so I know a great deal about academics. Additionally, I was involved in a fraternity (if you have any questions regarding that feel free to ask).

    I LOVED my time at UCF and I am sure you will too!

    I respectfully disagree.

    -All but 2 US Presidents since 1825 have been Fraternity members
    -63% of US Cabinet Members since 1900 have been greek
    ---- To put those in perspective, less than 3% of Americans are Greek
    -Of North America's 50 largest corporations 47 are headed by Greeks (I've literally had fellow brothers move up the corporate ladder faster due to them being greek)
    -The all fraternity and sorority GPA is higher than the overall college GPA

    Three things in regards to joining a fraternity:
    1.) Don't become a douche
    2.) Don't judge other people that are/aren't Greek. I made plenty of friends outside the Greek system and still remained friends with my High School friends.
    3.) Join a fraternity that will make you a better person. If you rush, ask yourself, "would I want to be like these guys one day? Could I grow as a person from them? Do I look up to them?" not "Are these guys cool? How many chicks do they get?"

    Personally, joining a fraternity was a right decision for me and I wouldn't be where I am today without it. Many of my friends have gone on to great jobs Doctors, Dentists, Lawyers, etc. It is a great feeling knowing if I ever need anything important or down the line if my child needs special attention from a Doctor I can call one of my Brothers and get the care and attention he/she needs. Additionally, it really helps make you feel apart of such a large university. That being said, I was a founding father and helped shape the fraternity I joined into being an actual fraternity of men that stand (I mean really stand) for our values and creed.

    Just my two cents...

    Attended a two day dental simulation course out at UNLV two summers ago. I absolutely loved the area, weather, Vegas (obviously), and most of the girls I met were easy on the eyes too lol.
