I am an international grad student. I have seen sororities and frats in movies as party hubs. Beyond that, Idk anything really about the greek letter societies. I have been invited to join Alpha Sigma Nu, and idk how to make a decision about this.

Honor societies are nothing like the Greek fraternity system. Admittance is typically based on GPA. Some require specific majors, others are open to all majors. They hold some social events, closer to tea parties than drunken toga parties. Some societies require an interview or have some “character” requirements.
For most societies and most people, it is a nice line on a resume and a quarterly magazine.

Alpha Sigma Nu is not a fraternity, it is is the honor society of Jesuit colleges and universities.
Something tells me the number of toga parties, keggers and women of loose moral standing is going to be pretty low in this group.

When hiring, most employers look for education and experience. The school provides the education. Oftentimes, a society can help with the experience. A couple of the societies I was in did community service activities in the field I studied. These lines of experience look good on a resume.
As suggested by others, do an online search for ASN. Check your college’s chapter and see if you can find one of the officers. Ask them what activities they perform regularly, or what they’ve accomplished. If their greatest accomplishment is going to the movies as a group, you might rethink them. Well, unless you like movies. =D
Hope that helps and Welcome to USA (if applicable).
