Graduation will come soon enough. Once you're in college, this is a fair question to have. But these are some things you should look for.
1. What is the GPA of the Chapter? You're going to college (hopefully) to get a degree. Make sure that a the fraternity you want to join can help you in that respect. What kind of scholarship programs do they have?
2. Each fraternity stands for certain values. Some overlap, but most boil down to gentleman behavior and honesty. But make sure that their values match up with yours.
3.See how they are viewed on campus. If people have only negative opinions of the Chapter then it might end up being a bad experience with you.
4. Check their Chapter and national website or more information.
5. Most importantly, make sure you fit in with the guys who are in the Chapter. If you like playing sports, but most of the guys in the fraternity enjoy staying in a playing video games instead, chances are you won't have a great time.
Other things to ask involve hazing, philanthropy, time commitment and accolades received. Just keep an open mind and good luck finding something that fits with you.
