i think if you took the time to get to know some of them, you'd find that your pretty off base about them. get any group of guys together, and you'll get a lot of talk about the stuff they're interested in (ie. computers for some, drinking for others).
i've always really hated when people say that by joining, your just "paying for friends." get real. you rush a house, if htey like you, they offer you a bid. they won't offer you one if they don't like you. it's essentially a selective club. you pay dues so the house can pay for it's various expenses. your not buying yoru friends any more than joining any club that requires you to pay dues does. this one just happens to be social, as opposed to a "Insert type of group here" that also has a social side.
edit: oh, and there's no reason to act like they're doing something bad/dumb, whatever, just because you're not interested in teh same things. to each their own, live and let live. don't waste your time being concerned about them if your not interested.
