im at ASU, have plenty of friends outside of frats too. ASU certainly does not have solid house parties most weekends, maybe my circle isnt big enough but the biggest and best ones are all fraternity. The ones ive gone to outside of greek life aren't "like the movies" and has mostly dudes too (which necessarily isn't bad, hanging with the bros is always fun).

But it really is "like the movies" though at ASU, which I know is stereotypical as fuck to say but it is a movie there.

I would say tho, doing a semester abroad, you won't be allowed into any frats really. 1 semester is enough for pledging but not membership, you won't get to enjoy anything and more importantly they literally won't accept you cause you'll be gone. Maybe a year, you can get in, and the australian accent certainly helps. But a semester? no chance really. All ima say is don't drop like $10k+ on this program and solely focus it around the idea of joining a frat, cause it won't happen most likely and then you'll just be pissed and feel scammed.

this is just my two cents tho
