Wow a lot of good responses here. One thing I didn't see though is that most fraternities assign you a "big brother" as a sort of mentor and helper through your pledge process. Hopefully you have (or will get) a Big Brother who you can ask for advice and direction through the process. The rest of it will come naturally if it's what you really want. Don't get too hung up on the details, just let yourself actually enjoy the experience. If you do, I'm sure you will learn a lot, teach a lot, and make friends for life.
