In 1986 I went to UM Rolla and joined a fraternity. At the time there was not a lot of females on campus as it was science, engineering, technology, etc. Females had at that time decided not to follow STEM degrees and it was a male dominated campus.<p>It is now UM Science and Technology, it has been re-branded.<p>The Fraternity I was in did hazing and had us pledges do under age drinking and smoke cigars and other stuff. It made Rolla a party university and it made me sick and my money was running out so I quit and moved back to St. Louis for a community college were tuition was cheaper.<p>A Fraternity is male only for a reason, a lot of the men are rough and cuss a lot, and you have to be tough to survive the hazing and other trials they put you under. I won&#x27;t reveal their secret rituals or betray them in any way. Just that it is not designed for females nor are sororities designed for males. Trying to change that will change the experience one gets from a fraternity or sorority. People act differently around the opposite gender than they do in a group of people all the same gender.
