Should i join a frat? what are your thoughts and opinions on frat life? were they beneficial to you or just not that great pls be honest.

Hi Im a student who has been thinking of joining a frat at my university for quite sometime however the fees to join a frat held me back a bit. At my university it costs on average 800-1000 something dollars to be a part of a frat per semester + 500-1000$ in fees to apply? or was it initial fee on top of the normal fee. However uni life has been extreme boredom for me in general and would like to make more friends. what is your opinion? pls dm me your honest thoughts if you feel like you need to.
