Greek Life

Greek life gets a bad reputation from such a small amount of chapters. If someone is an asshole then thats who they are. That said, Greek life does give people confidence because they are a part of something bigger than themselves. Yeah it sounds cheesy, but anyone in greek life will agree.

Being Greek is about have people close you with a unique bond of going through pledging, being social with a variety of people, and being a part of a larger organization. It is similar to a 'club', but a club doesn't select its members and grow for the betterment of everyone. In a club, lets say ski club, you will get a lot of skier personalities. In greek life you get a wide range of people from different backgrounds and passions and thats were a unique chemistry come. You have a connection with a large group of people who are closer than friends, and a genuine bond to a few without that chapter. Its a community all its own.

Sorry for the deep post, but I hate to see people view greek life as solely partying and destruction decisions when that just isn't it. Individuals make bad decisions, not the organization as a whole.

Lmao come on

Not sure what else you want to hear? Most people don't get deep about it because you sound pretty fucking weird saying it, but its the truth

No disrespect. Glad you got something out of it.... Other than herpes. You sound like the cops here. If there are bad ones, call them out! don't hide behind the individual. You have a dick head on here talking about drugging ladies and you're silent. Speak up. Call him out. Let people know that this isn't "all of you" even if my experience is that it's a lot more than you're making out. If the organization as a whole (a group of individuals) refuse to acknowledge or put a stop to an individuals bad behavior you are no better than the bad behavior its self.
 
It’s funny that the ppl that have never been in Greek life have the most shit to say about it. Like if your in college and you are not Greek, you are not affected at all by free life. Greek life should not at all bother you if you have no association and it will not at all affect your college experience. That said, ppl in Greek life have the opportunity to meet 100 times more ppl than none Greeks, through date parties, mixers, late nights, etc. also you get to meet the finest women on campus that are usually filthy little whores.

"No disrespect" then is an dick. Yeah only people in Greek life are dicks.

I'm sorry you envy Greek Life, but thats not my issue. I already called out him and explained what Greek Life is.
 
I've been involved in greek life at CU. You are kinda forced to join as a freshman guy because of how strict Boulder bars are with fakes. You basically won't be able to party if you aren't in a frat. Now that I'm 21 I'm far less involved. Made some good friends that I ski with a bunch now. It was fun but if you can go to bars with fakes at your school its not really worth it.

Also dropping bars in chicks drinks is incredibly fucked up. If you need to drug girls to get laid you 110% deserve to go to prison. That shit did not and does not fly in the chapter I was in.
 
I was just walking home (intoxicated) and got into an argument with a drunk frat dude, it ended in him calling me a "5 foot 4 chicken McNugget lookin Fuck"

Anyways gotta give credit where credit is due, that was a great insult, and I find it hilarious.

ill get a lot of hate for this (probably ppl that weren't greek), but kids in greek like get 10 times more pussy than kids that aren't in it. the chicks in greek life are probably the filthiest pigs you will ever meet and get passed around so much.

quality > quantity

I'm sure it varies by school, but I cant imagine at any university the greek girls are the cream of the crop. UNR is exceptionally bad. I did find that most greekers i encountered were somewhat nice, even though a lot of them were straight up tools/retards.

Yep I agree as well.


And if girls you mean like this? You can take all of them crazies.

If you need to join a frat to find parties at CU you're just lazy

Seriously, shut the fuck up. Everything you are saying is based off of popular assumptions and stereotypes. You sound so uneducated.

Literally this. Not sure if UNR is just really bad or what....but our frats blow ass hard. They do some fucked up shit.

Most of the guys can be okay in class and stuff. But god damn the lot of them are douchebags. They have an insane superiority complex. Like massive.

I remember my first day at UNR I went to some Greek seminar thingy for freshman because my buddy was looking to join....leader of the thing stands up and says literally, "Greek kids are better in every way, we get better grades, we have better lives, we have better jobs, we are better people, and if you aren't in Greek life you aren't as good"....

I burst out laughing and everyone stared at me hahahahaha one of the most rediculous things I've heard. Most of it is fairly opposite from what I've seen hahah

Maybe UNR just has shitty greek....but it definitely turns me....and a ton of people off from it. Multiple drug rape scandals, multiple kids have died, hazing, yada yada. I've got friends back home that are greek....maybe it's better there

Yeah it's weird.

One of our our roommates last year (at Lanes) was in a frat. Parties were annoying, but most of the people were chill. A decent amount of annoying douchers as well. But the sorority girls that came over were nice, most of them total basket cases, but nice nonetheless. Always bad when you have bitchy basket cases running around.

I feel like most the party/social frats at UNR aren't getting the best grades...

Also, most the people standing up for Greek life in this thread basically just help prove the point for people against it haha.

At least frats aren't as bad as sororities where ya just pay to have friends to gossip to..
 
you ppl need to shut the fuck up, none of you are saying anything new. it is all the same basic low level shit coming from people that have never been a part of greek life, and yall are just basis it on stereotypes and shit you have no clue about. just do yourself a favor and shut your ass, you are embarrassing yourself and just sound ignorant is fuck. yall are trying to comment on something that you know nothing about.

Dude, you're not helping your case much either.

I definitely can see why greek life gets a lot of hate, it's pretty toxic at most schools. I can also see the appeal of greek life as well, its really fun as a freshman/sophomore.

It's obvious neither side is going to change their mind and thats fine. I just don't see a reason to hate on people because of their choice to join or not join greek life.

why does it bother you so much if you are not involved in it? how does it affect your life as a student? if you are not in greek life you should have zero association with it, and absolutely nothing to do with it. you seriously just have no clue what you are talking about

Read my previous posts in this thread. I was in a fraternity for two years. I even lived in the house.

I'm just saying I see both sides and you certainly aren't helping your case by getting angry and calling people uninformed.

The thing is based on comments in this thread and on this site in general you sound like the guy in frats that everyone hates.

If you are basing Greek life on comments made on this threat then u r a fucking retard, and there is no conversation to be had here

Ryan c'mon man. We all know you are a part of that greek life. Quit talking and start skiing ;)
 
Brocollirape, if you really were in a frat, then I think we can all agree that the brotherhood and morals and other stuff that the fats were supposed to instill in you, did not work based on your posts in this thread and others. Just stop; you're embarrassing yourself and your frat comrades. I rest my case.

your trolling is bad and you should feel bad
 
I'm not involved, but seeing my friends join a sorority or frat and then having their facebook wall flooded with overly enthusiastic posts from their newly purchased "friends" was always hilarious. It seemed incredibly fake to me, but my friends drank the koolaid. Never went to frat parties after my first week at university, being forced to wait in line for half an hour by a bunch of drunk dudes with backwards snapbacks only to be let into a half empty frat house with sticky floors and shitty EDM mixed in with the occasional basic bro rap was enough to put me off of them for good.

Definitely not for me, but I see the appeal for a certain kind of people. They can also be very good tools to make connections for business or just for socializing, but the frat culture was so awful I never wanted any part of it.
 
the whole "paying for friends" rhetoric is so old and played out. you pay fees to join a lot of other clubs and organizations at a university so how the fuck is that any different? if i join a hockey team and need to pay for joining it to be on a team with other ppl, does that mean i am "paying for friends"?

Yeah but not $500-1000+ per semester like frats

Yeah I remember frats costing around $800 per semester at my school while I think it cost me $15 for the year to join the ski club. Pretty big difference.

pretty big differences beyond just the costs too. I think we all know that here though, just a couple frat bros who have been drinking the kool aid hard trying to justify their organizations here

I have a couple buddies that pledged Phi Delt and Sig Nu at my school and after seeing how they were treated by actives and the reasonable standards they were held to it has almost convinced me to rush in the spring. The pledges are required to log a certain amount of study hours per week, and multiple kids in their respective pledge classes have gotten booted for poor behavior.

I really think greek life varies from school to school and from frat to frat obviously.
