You live in Anderson?



I'm in Spartanburg for a few months for work....

No, I actually live in Central. Clemson, Central, Pendleton and Anderson are all pretty close together. Spartanburg is about 35-ish miles north of me.

One of the biggest things I've heard in this thread, and irl, is that "I don't pay for my friends". Make no mistake about it, I don't, nor did I when I was involved with Beta, pay for any of the friends I made. In fact, a year or so before I graduated from UGA I started making the distinction between my friends who were brothers and the people that were brothers. Not all of the 70 some odd people that walked through the Beta house's doors were my friends.

If anyone is willing to pay the dues to become a member of any nationally recognized organization, then that person is doing basically the same thing as joining a fraternity. Sure, most organizations don't require applicants to learn the history of the organization and what not, but the two acts (joining a frat or, say, becoming a SCCA member) are essentially the same. The individual is paying dues to a central organization for the "exclusive" right to gain some benefit from that organization.

In the case of social fraternities, one should theoretically be joining an organization where there is some common bond. I pledged Beta at SMU and affiliated at UGA because the guys in the house were all different in many ways but still socialized and had a good time. The character of each house is different, and that's why there are so many of them.

Its a black frat.... Omega Psi Phi. Heard of'em? I would pledge a regular frat, but I want to do step, and uh....no other white/multicultural frats do step besides the Alphas, Kappas, Qs (omegas) and i think one more...

They going to beat your lil ass



I thought about pledging, but since I'm in a dual degree program and already have my 1st degree, I can't pledge undergrad. So I gotta find a grad chapter to pledge now.

[The Ninja]

I know they'll beat me, but I sorta expect that.

I stopped by the Theta Chi...well more like walked past...in the University center, looked at their board and stuff. A friend of mine is Theta Chi, Darian (sp?). He's cool, but I really want to pledge Q.

[Schugg]

they kinda just remind me of cults, and why is everyone saying "paying for friends" isnt cool or whatever, you have to pay to be in a frat?

[Reaper]

Eh imo there are plenty of frats lamer than tke at tech. The ones at tech I know are meatheads and potheads.

my best friend is a Beta @ tech, over all those guys are cool but I don't get along with some of them..

I sometimes party with some theta chi's @ Kennesaw and I know they go down to state alot to party with those theta chi's...

All fraternities have some kind of semesterly or quarterly dues, and they are typically rather expensive.

[Deke]

Oh so is your wrx the one usually sitting outside of Fiji? They are cool guys though, my sister used to date one.

Haha, actually you're probably thinking of another guy who graduated in the fall. He drove basically the same car as me except he had a spoiler. But I am parked there from time to time. If you see one with black wheels, that's me.

Do you know Sidik?

Sure do. I don't know all of the guys younger than me that well(which are quite a few at this point), but I do know Sidik.

[Frög]

[The Ren]

im a female but.. Tau Beta Sigma(Eta Xi chapter) sorority at ga southern.. and no im no longer active...

[AirMax95]

Interesting thread......

If you join a Frat/Sorority to make friends, step/stroll, or become popular......Hang yourself.

D-Ninja: You should find one of the Q's, pull them to the side, and let them know of your interest. Be yourself and be honest. And please do not refer to any of the above reasons as which to join. Also, very important, due your research on the frat. Founders, purpose, year created, etc...

NPHC organizations are much harder to gain acceptance, stay focused.

Beta Theta Pi at Tech. Still active and live in the house. Brother was a Sigma Chi at Tech, my grandfather was Delta Tau Delta at Tech, and my dad was Delta Sigma Phi at Wofford. Fraternities are mainly a southern thing. I actually joined with a couple of my best friends from high school. Oh and I save about $1500 a semester by being greek and living in the house as compared to paying for GT housing and food. Biggest gain of joining a house if connections more than anything. I've had a few very nice job offers from alumni above avg. pay etc. and never even interviewed. Also overall greeks at Tech have a higher GPA. Our house avg is actually above a 3.0.

Really greek or not depends on the school. Tech doesn't have much social stuff outside the greek system because not really a downtown like say Athens or Auburn. Also a lot of the girls at Tech are greek and of course that means they mainly go to fraternity houses to hang out. So another advantage to being greek at Tech. Not sure I'd be greek anywhere else but I am very glad that I am at Tech.

Oh and I can't remember who said Beta's are arrogant (true of some but same with every house) but actually we are one of the few houses that has mainly open parties and lets anyone in whether you know someone or not.

[The Ren]

Mine is an honorary Sorority.. you have to excel in music to even get invited to pledge... so when you get a bid.. you jump on it..

That was me, but I think most frat boys are that way. My dad was a beta theta pi, and my old neighbor tim was/is one at tech.

[imbosile]

Sure do. I don't know all of the guys younger than me that well(which are quite a few at this point), but I do know Sidik.

Ah cool, I've known him since 6th grade, and we actually roomed together last year.

Oh and if you see him, tell him that Jordan says, "You need to step up your shoe game."

[RUFFIAN]
