i don't get how it's buying friends, i pay less to live in our house with my friends than i would to live on campus or in an off campus apartment, including fees to national. and yea, pledging sucks, but you only have to do it once.
and anyone that says anything bad about them isn't in one, nobody that is in a frat will say bad things about it, ever notice that? it's because everyone likes frats once they join, but people who don't know about them or are afraid of them bad mouth them all the time.
i guess it's a little different at my school because i don't want to hang out with 90% of the people here, so frats are the only way to have a social life, but frat life itself is still the same.
they aren't for everyone, but to make generalizations like "they're for followers or people who want to be cool" is like me saying all people that aren't in frats aren't cool enough to be in one, which obviously isn't true, but it is the same type of generalization.

It's naive to think that people don't join fraternities/sororites to "be seen" or to be "cool." I highly doubt people join frats/sororities so they can be charitable to the community. It's the wildest parties and all the debouchery attached to frat life that draws peldges in. They wanna feel included.
Admittedly, I rushed the KA's at FSU back in the day. Unfortunately a student died during a party the house threw for prospective pledges...and that changed my perspective.
There's alot to be said for being independent minded and not needing to fill some void. I think frats are over-rated. That you don't is great. We're all entitled to our opinions.
Btw, your statement below kinda has a "your to cool cause your in a frat" feel to it. I guess there are just more important things for most people.
"Anyone that says anything bad about them isn't in one, nobody that is in a frat will say bad things about it, ever notice that?"
I'm not pickin on you for what you like, just a friendly debate.

i agree with everyone who said **** the frats...
they are stupid...
and for losers,
for people who can't make friends on there own...
for people who think that its cool...
frats are dumb and so are the people in them...there are more important things in life then hanging out with a bunch of dumbasses and wearin shirts with greek letters on them...

I was in the following Frats:
We busta kaps
I Tappa Kheg
Eata Tater Pie
and my personal favorite...
I Phelta Thigh
Seriously, I was a T.D.I.. in senior college (Those Damn Independants)
In Junior College, I was in Phi Theta Kappa if that counts... lol
You think someone in a double major for Computer Engineering and MIS had time for that stuff?? Nope.
Nerd training took up all my time.

yeah, there is a lot of crap that goes into the fraternity life that doesn't belong there, but it can be a lot like the next step of a car club or an online forum. you share information about things that are going on around campus, you hold meets, and you join your energies to attain things that would be impossible to do individually.
at the same time: **** the Frats that believe that being in the Fraternity makes them cool or that being a shithead to those that aren't proves how cool they are. those are bullies, they may happen to be in a fraternity but they are the same stereotyped s*** football players, cheerleaders, soccer players or whatever else was "cool" in high school. they are shitheads because of their personality not because they are in a Fraternity.
Frats are for those assholes, Fraternities are for those who actually care...

I am a proud, standing member of I Phelta Thigh
On a serious note:
I'm not ragging on anyone who was a football player, etc. I was a football, soccer, hockey, tennis (yeah I said TENNIS!), and track/field guy in HS. It just depends on what you make time for, its all about how deep in Fraternity life you wanted to get. I got a triple major in four years including one abroad to France. It depends on choices, both as a Fraternity/Sorority member and as a person in other aspects of your life.
On a side note:
Lara, I think that I can get you involved as a SigEp if you'd like. I think the SigEps at St. Louis University would be more than happy to have you as a member

we have a minimum requirement of 40 hours per school year per brother of community service. you don't join just to do this (there are service fraternities like APO if you want to do this), but it helps many people make the decision to know that we aren't solely about partying. i would hope it isn't just the debauchery and parties that draw pledges in. we get to know the people before giving bids during rush. again, our school is different than most in that we have 1 rush period per year, freshmen aren't allowed in our house at all until b term (we have 4 terms per year), and they aren't allowed to drink or be in our house after 10 until the end of rush, so their decision is based on the people in the house and what the house stands for, not for our parties because they haven't experienced any.SeminoleMan said:
i didn't know i was trying to fill some void by joining a frat with a bunch of people who i was already friends (big soccer frat) with and would be whether i joined or not. granted, not as close friends, but still friends. it seems to me like it makes you feel better about not joining one by putting others down who are in frats, and by doing so you are making yourself feel included in the group of kids who are too cool to join frats, aka those who are closed minded on the subject. i don't get how joining a frat makes one not independent minded anymore, all of the sudden they are a different person and will do what everyone else does? i don't drink, everyone in this house does. i don't party much, everyone else in this house does. i'm into cars, there are maybe 3 other people in this house who like cars, none to the extent of me. I must not be independent minded.
i don't think anyone is cool because they join a frat, there are plenty of not cool kids in our house, and plenty of whole houses on campus that aren't cool, and plenty of cool kids (well not a ton at this school) who aren't in frats, i could care less either way, being cool is a personal thing, not a frat thing.
the statement was what i have observed on many threads like this. the only people who bash frats are those that are not in them and have never taken the time to really get to know what frat life is about. they mostly go from generalizations, things they've heard (you aren't going to hear about the good houses), movies they've seen, never from personal experience. the people who do have personal experience won't say bad things about the life because they don't have anything bad to say about it. there are plenty of meathead houses (like the football house on our campus) who have the "i am mightier than thou" attitude, but each house is different, and we really only have 1 or 2 houses like that out of 12 on campus.

i don't need a bunch of fake friends, i have real friends...everyone in a frat is a joke...
yourworstmemory said:
everyone from westfield new york is a joke, while we're making broad generalizations and being ignorant
how are friends fake because they're in a frat? friends are friends. because they're people you might not be friends with otherwise and they come from different walks of life? i'm not best friends with everyone in our house, but i am in a brotherhood with them. brotherhood is different than friendship.
you might want to try learning about what a frat does, what is involved in being in one, and what benefits and detriments there are that go along with it before making uneducated comments.

Ah....SAE...I never was too much into the Frat scene at UNLV, but heard about SAE alot. The greek scene at UNLV isn't up to par as a lot of other schools.
I was in an academic fraternity though, Lambda Pi Eta, if that counts.
