Greek Life Opinions

yes i have to call him my brother, we don't get along, thats fine with me, people who aren't retarded know that you don't have to like everyone in your fraternity.
and i don't pay money to call people my friends.on sunday night i watched the super bowl on a 100 inch projector screen with all the wings and pizza i could eat. i could do this because I payed my dues. some of the money does go to nationals, but I figure thats a small price to pay if it helps get me a better job when i graduate.
 
It's funny that you say you got all the pizza and wings you could eat, because i did too without paying 800 bucks. In fact i paid nothing because We get program funding for university events without being exclusive elitist douchenozzles.
 
If you live in dorms like I do you do have to pay but part of the cost of dorms outside of the upkeep is used for dorm activities.
 
im not going to bother arguing with someone as stupid as you.anyone with any kind of intelligence can see you're a fucking idiot.
 
well to start off this post i am currently pledging a frat so my

thoughts may be different from both that of a brother of someone not in

a frat. First of all my school started frats as a whole as well as my

alpha. I dont think you are buying friends in any way shape of form.

I have to pay a little over 200 a term which in my mind is much more

than worth if for all the beer, food, and parties i feel like having or

attending. I know for a fact that I would spend more than this in a

term anyway so its a win for me. I think people get the wrong image

from a couple of douches in frats of particular frats(TDX) for

example. My house in particular is complete with a lib, game room, and

tv room with a nice 72 tv.

You need to pick a frat that you can see your self in and can be

yourself and not live with a bunch of tools. To the OP i dont think

you should be bothered about what people think about you and your frat

anyway its what you get out of it in terms of both social and academic

benifits.

Now a shit load of people said that there are no benifits of being in a

frat. This is in no way true. The social networking is fucking great

at least at my frat and kids have been getting jobs left and right from

alums. Also people in frats an average make about 30% more money on a

yearly basis. Not too bad for paying less money than i normally would

for the same stuff.

Also these are just my thoughts and im not telling anyone they are totally wrong its just how its going down for me.
 
not all frats are elitist either. we let anyone into our parties when i was there as long as it wasnt too crowded, and we had to maintain some sort of guy girl ratio...but definately not elitist. your the one calling people you dont know "douchenozzels"
 
My poor opinions of sorority and fraternity girls/guys are strictly based on real life occurrences and how I've been treated by them. It doesn't have anything to do with "greek life" as all the volunteer work and community building efforts integrated into it is pretty awesome. There are most definitely legit ones, though. My friend is in a co-ed fraternity or whatever and they are all good people. On most occasions, however, the stereotype for me has been reinforced by real life behavior.
 
wow you guys are actually pulling your tampons out about this. I stopped being serious after the first page. You just don't know how to stop feeding trolls do you?
 
oh and just for the lulz. Frats hand out tickets to parties, only let you in if you are on a list, not even if you know people in there, get pissed off when their neighbors are having better parties then them and fuck with their stuff, get their bros to go to said parties and fuck shit up (similar to lax bros) and don't let in anywhere near as many guys as girls. Probably so they can get their rufies in the solo cups more effeciently.

Also there's alot of rape, like around the same amount as is in some of the sports houses (hockey house/lax house/soccer house (not club))

Finally, get over yourself, you're not going to change anybody's opinions on fraternity life over the internet. You're just a bunch of babies living off of your parents money who think you're italian, entitled to god knows what and bring on negative stereotypes towards the italian community (see guido).
 
Good amount of people on my floor ended up joining frats. An their new "brothers" that they bring back to their dorm fit the stereotype pretty much perfectly. Been to a few of their frats as well, the places look sketch; the bros who live there are even more sketch. So my intake on it is that I am sure there are some legit frats out there, and there filled with decent chill bros. But prob like 70% of fraternity fit the stereotypical douche bag frat.
Not to mention the entire way the system functions is fucking retarded. Pledging is the most stupid degrading concept ever. I also lol at the $ dues as well.
 
pay for friends

you clearly have no idea how this shit works

All of the money goes to keep up the house, rent, food, and activities and trips. Its the same as you paying for your rent, your food, and getting together with your friends to go to a trip to the beach or the mountain. If you spend money anytime youre with friends, then by your definition, you pay for your friends too.

Pledging varies by fraternity and school. Gay degrading shit doesn't happen where I am. I've heard of it happening at other schools, and I know people the depledged on the spot knowing everyone in the fraternity had done gay shit. Stop generalizing it. Gay shit and fucking terrible hazing doens't take place at hardly any fraternities.

Not all fraternity parties are elitist. We let most people in our parties unless they suck or they are douchebags. Our football team parties sometimes (I go to ga tech) and sometimes its a fucking crazy party with a bunch of black people on the street. Wow, it looks like you've been kicked out of a few parties. Get rejected much? Its always the creepers we kick out. Its obvious you just have a bad taste in your mouth from getting black balled from every house because you suck.

btw, if you had a party at your house would you let every motherfucker in? Especially if they were just gonna destroy shit, and they didnt help to keep the house up or even know you? Yeah i thought so.
 
Yea i'm obviously the one blackballed. you just know that i'm onto you and your little rufie dropping game so you're trying to attack me
 
See now you're trying to attack a generalization with a generalization of your own.

Does no one see how stupid this thread is? People in frats are only going to see the good in their fraternities because they enjoy it. People not in them only have the view from the outside. You'll never convince me that fraternities are legitimately a cool thing just like I'll never convince you they aren't just a bunch of loser douchebags who don't understand how to treat friends or lovers.

All I know is, frat boys are way too defensive about their lifestyle. If I think something is cool, I don't give a fuck what other people say about it. I know I enjoy it and that's all I care about. If you're so comfortable in what you do, why not blow off what we say because obviously "we just don't know what we're talking about."
 
ExactlyI ended up in a Fraternity without planning on it because I thought they were all stereotypical... But then I ended up in a very legit house with awesome guys and we actually have houses that we live in and our is set up in apartments which is pretty awesome and much cheaper than dorms... But the 70% thing is right on. Most of the houses on our campus are such bros that they don't even talk to guys in other houses... Plus during rush one kid tried to make me come to his house by showing me his bed and telling me "this is where I fuck Bitches, do you wanna go smoke weed?" I didn't even know what to say... However, there are a lot of very well grounded and established houses and there is tons of merit to a Fraternity if it is run right. It just sucks that the good ones have to be labeled with the bad ones.
 
Well see some of us are pledges, or used to be in fraternities.
I know all the benefits that I have mentioned before, and know the plus sides of fraternity life. However, I haven't lived the life yet and I can still back out any time this semester for a full refund. So right now I am in the middle ground that everyone says can't be achieved. It's not hard to be objective either... Anyone who legitimately cares would be able to see that there are good things and bad things to fraternities, and they just aren't for everyone.

But hey, this is NSG so I guess serious intellectual threads are mostly avoided. Please continue to further the ignorant stereotypes (or I suppose also the ones based on true experiences with douchebag frat guys) and keep bringing up bros, roofies, paying for friends, elitism, whores, rape, homosexuality, hazing, childish immature behaviour, and disrespect for women. And how about the fraternity guys on NS keep talking about getting pussy and that the other people don't know anything about true frat life?
 
its a fucking joke. I guess i didnt make my sarcasm obvious enough.

Yeah and I've only heard of one fraternity at my school using rufies and they have a terrible reputation for it even though it happened years ago. no one drops rufies.

one more thing. it really depends on the school for greek life. I know schools like mine or clemson and others that there really arent too many parties outside greek life and its really hard to get into parties if your not(clemson) I also know at other schools like app state that the greek system is a total joke and youre a tool if youre in one and theres no point in being in one.

It all depends on your school, what the social life is like in them and out and what fraternities are there. Fraternities are also really different up north, in the south or out west.
 
HEY RETARDS:
When you say "paying for friends", you do realize that means just all collectively paying for a massive amount of booze, right? Where the fuck do you think that money goes? Beer and room and board. It's cheaper to live in my frat house then it is in campus dorms, AND i get booze whenever i want.
ignorant fucks.
 
no hate here

but you say you have trouble affording food, but you get wild 4-5 times a week.

lawls we see where you put youz money
 
No asshole, people aren't talking about that small sum of money to pay for functions or whatever.

They talking about the ridiculous front that fraternities and sororities put on about being a bunch of friends who live in the same house. You pay dues and rent and everything else, all to live in a house where you don't like everyone and have to act fake in front of certain people.

Disclaimer: If you have a house where you like everyone I don't care, you're an outlier

I would never willingly pay for rent and all the living expenses if I wasn't happy with the people I lived with. It would suck going down to the common room and see that asshole you just got in a fight with yesterday and then have to act like we're friends. I graduated High School for a reason.
 
fraternity kids are the ones with no friends in high school who go to college, get pissed by their "brothers" then act like idiots cause its the first time they partied before.
personally i went to college to get an education
not to find a "big brother" to initiate my asshole and make me feel cool and important

alright you're stupid. explain to me when I have to act fake and pretend I like someone in front of certain people. there's one kid in my fraternity that I don't like, and everyone knows it. We don't put up a front. you clearly have no understanding of what you're talking about.
 
dude dont worry about it, i'm just trolling for the lulz. people are mad missing that post and still getting angry so its hilarious
 
you are good at what you do. even if you choose pissing people off, you do it well. props. i refuse to argue anymore.
 
as much as it pains me to say that karmagod has a point you will never like everyone in your frat. i dont like everyone in mine thats for fucking sure but you just have to deal with it
 
Normally, I e-hate almost all of your responses. But you really hit it on the head with the "I graduated high school part".

Even my friends IN frats that are Seniors say that living in them is like reliving high school again and that many of the members are people that were high on the totem pole in high school trying to still live that in college.
 
Question:

Why are so many sorority girls such whores? Do they have no shame bringing dudes back to fuck in their bunk beds? hahaha
