We are members for life and are expected to be active until we die. Informationals are held where young men may attend and listen to current members talk about their organization and their questions are answered. Men are encouraged to visit the informationals of every organization in order to know all sides of the proverbial coin. The actual joining of the fraternity, or intake process is another story entirely. Usually it is a process which may takes a few weeks.
Different information is learned by prospective members, before actual membership is granted.
Entertainment Man cannot live by bread alone. All work and no play can leave fraternity life rather dry. Parties are still a constant fun tool, the proceeds from many functions are used to fund other projects. Perhaps what many of the fraternities are most well-known for is the Stepshows they present. Stepping is a style of group dance which involves many of the traditions from African-American culture.
