I wasn't in a frat, but I know people who are, so I'll give you what I can.
Basically, there is a period near the beginnign of each semester called the "rush". The different frats hold parties where people who want to join look around, talk to members, and basically decide whether they want to join a frat, and which. Then the frat brothers choose prospective members who become "pledges". At this point, there is a period where the pledges are initiated into the frat, and those that make it join.
I really don't want to go into too much detail, since it may be different where you go to school. Just make sure you think it over and choose a frat where you will feel comfortable.
