First things first, I went to SU in the mid to late 70s, 1970s not 1870s wise guy, so who knows if any of this is at all relevant any more.

I was a transfer my junior year. I lived in a split-double my first semester, Brewster-Boland, but quickly found a room for let at a frat house, ATO, because I couldn't take it any more listening to my theater-major roommate singing scales every night. I never joined a frat, but renting an available room in one my second semester at school made me a defacto member- hey, I liked to party, I was relatively normal, and I had less than average flatulence- stuff my wife, whom I met at SU, would deny was ever the case, but oh baby could I bust a move back then. Here is a clip of me dancing at the Orange on Thursday night, back in the day as they say-

Senior year I lived off-campus.

In any case, my point is that by not joining a frat and centering my social life around one dominant group I was able to make friends with several diverse groups of friends. There were probably four or five I was able to float among and hang with depending on what my mood was. I had my ATO friends when I wanted to party hard, I had friends from from my membership in the Outting Club- ahh, I don't know if that is even around any more, or if it is what it's main purpose is, but back then the Outing Club meant you liked to rock climb, go on bike trips, hike, back pack, etc; I had a bunch of friends from the Stumpy school when I wanted to be like laid back man; then I had my jock friends from participating in club sports- etc. It was great fun and a good time was had by all! One man's experience.
