My advice and opinions: Yes, workout and hit the gym. But No, it’s not a dealbreaker if you’re not shredded. Note- if you are rushing a top house full of athletic dudes it might be more important. No homo but hotter dudes = hotter girls at your parties. But I’m sure there are plenty of frats that don’t care.

Work on your style, don’t show up to rush events in hoodies and gymshorts. Throw a polo on or at least a nice t shirt. Style isn’t limited to your clothes so keep your hair cut and don’t look greasy n shit.

Pledge in your first or second semester when you get to your 4 year uni. The longer you wait the more fun shit you miss out on.
