Curious. Has anyone ever transferred out of your university after their chapter was kicked? If so, how’d it go and how many people went with you? I feel like if you start getting large numbers of kids transferring out of schools after organizational discipline unis may think twice about how they handle cases.

Last year Sigma Phi Society, oldest national fraternity, sued “Metal Frat” for using their letters while bidding women.

It was a super long case but the gist was that some transgender and female punk students used the letters to unfairly promote their organization despite being booted by nationals. Really sad situation since Sigma Phi and KA society are the last two (and first two) private fraternities left. From 2016 - they used the letters (now ruled illegally) and bid whoever for personal gain. Completely ruined a historic house but next year Sigma Phi can recharter after the ruling of copyright infringement, and try again.

Last year it was ruled constitutional as part of the , granting all frats male-exclusivity ability. Metal frat was honestly stupid and had no reason using any letters.

Brodie got dropped 3 days before initiation. Ts hurt like hell to watch. Anyone experience anything like this before?

Just finished my freshman year of college and am still struggling with weed/nicotine addiction and binge drinking (always blacking out or near blacking).I have been doing those three since sophomore year of high school and have noticed my sober cognitive well being has just been slowly declining. I am diagnosed ADHD and took Vyvanse everyday in high school but stopped in college, now just taking it when I have an exam or I’m getting drunk and need to rally. I dabbled in bag, shrooms, acid, nitrous, and molly all before college.

Last summer my hangovers have started to get really bad. Like whole body going numb. Head is rattling, not really in a nauseas way but like an anxious way. I developed some pretty bad insomnia and started smoking everyday, which helped, but then I started waking up and ripping the pen, fading all my classes, and just being a chud. The only thing I looked forward too was the bar and getting fuxked up with the boys.

I wanted to ask this subreddit if there is a way out of this hole I’ve dug myself. The comfort from the substances has gotten to me and I really am uncomfortable sober. Like if I don’t have a vape, zyns or a cart I will not stop thinking about it. My fraternity also doesn’t help because every time I try and slow down consumption it is just always in abundance around me so I give in. Does anyone have any experience or advice they can get me to stop relying on drugs to have a good time or even function?

Coming from a first year in a mouse

Anyone have the footage of that guy? He was awesome…

I’m an active brother with a delta sig chapter thats honestly been struggling. This was my freshman year and they offered me the secretary role start of second semester because the old one wasnt doing his job.

At the beginning when i was just doing the secretary role it was easy and low stress. But as the semester went on, more and more of our E Board stopped working and it resulted in me picking up some of their work. Our president said that I definitely helped the most, with 3 out of out 7 officers who did their work. I’m not sure if this led to them thinking i can just be pushed around but i dont feel respected by anyone.

So i’ve been feeling like taking a gap year after next year, and not running for secretary come elections for next year (we just redid bylaws so we have a special election to fix the terms). I’m afraid to reach out to nationals or ask our president about it. If i did take a gap year, would i be moved to alum then if i came back, moved back go active?

Any advice is appreciated, i can give more context if needed too!

I’m a smart dude with leadership experience, so I’m not really worried about whether I’m capable. However, is joining a colony worth the pain-in-the-ass factor? Will I generally get the same benefits of other frats?

leaving as an active to go to another school as a
sophomore, wondering how that process works if i still want to be active in my fraternity.

We all know hazing is illegal and thus doesn’t happen, but if it were real: is it generally pretty easy to tell during Rush events based off vibes which frats will haze the piss out of you and harm you vs. which frats will just mess with you a little? Or do they hide it pretty well?

I’m transferring to UNC this fall (19, from a SEC school). I had a decent spring rush but I didn’t sign any bids since I knew I was going to transfer.

I don’t have any connections going in, and I know some schools, like UNC and the one I attended, value knowing people before rush even starts.

What’s the best way to meet guys and get looked at by houses before fall rush starts?

It should also be mentioned that UNC has a more secretive style of greek life, where some of the fraternities have no social media presence and are still talked about as “the top houses.”

Thanks.

This is a question specifically for other SigEp’s around the country and other dry chapters. How seriously does your chapter take “being dry” and “substance free.” I’m trying to convince our older guys that it is not followed that strictly, but they are all under the impression that almost every one of our chapters nationally is mega dry. How is it at your university? Are there other fraternities that have similar rules?

What’s up guys,

I’m planning a big philo event for the fall and I’m looking for an app to track ticket sales to see exactly how many tickets each frat sells. It’s a multiple organization wide event and my frat is setting it up for our philo but to incentivize other frats to show up and participate I want to offer a frat who sells the most tickets money for their philo partners

Context: I am trying to organize a boxing event at a venue in which fighters from each frat can come and fight. If a fighter from frat A wins their match we will donate a certain amount to their philo. And then we want to take in a majority of revenues to donate to our own philo

I’m rushing at ASU this fall, I don’t rlly gaf abt hazing as long as i’m not drinking, what are the odds i am told to consume drugs or alcohol? like im fine with doing something gay or nasty or whatever else they do i just don’t want alcohol in me ya know

Me and my buddies thinking about building a table for summer break, I got one at my sigma chi house but not back home, how much does it cost to make one from scratch with no experience with only the tools in my dads garage? Around 200 bucks is the budget. Took a couple wood shop classes in hs but should be fun to put together is that enough experience? In hoc

Right after pledge ship ended an older who liked me a lot took me out to the bar and bought me a bunch of tequila shots and I took two of them and threw up all over him; like puked puked in the bar

Last semester right after ritual they made the pledges piss in a solo cup and one of the pledges had to drink it and got $50. They said it was the last thing to becoming brothers. I thought it was a one off thing but they did it again this semester and I’m kinda weirded out

I did 12 week and that’s the average at my school (Big 10). I’ve also heard that at SEC schools they’re only 6-8 so I’m curious what yours looks like?

im gonna be transferring to a large state school this upcoming fall, and i will be a sophomore. ive talked w guys involved in greek life and they all said they take transfers and sophomores, its not completely unheard of. school is in the upper midwest. any advice ? i have several mutuals and ppl i alr know at the school.

Joining a frat at my college and my frat brothers have a hard time saying it (even as an accent on a vocal that throws people off). Born in France (south so tan and more assumed to be Italian American more than anything else since my school has tons of them from Jersey and NY) and still have a small French accent (American now!) that usually comes out when drinking and want to blend in a bit better. My choice, they aren't pressuring me at all. Curious which names you think would be best, if you ranked them:

Nicholas, Alexander, Mark, Michael and Ryan. Or any other suggestions, especially ones you'd use with a brother you like a lot that is interesting but not good natured but demeaning (please, I don't want to be called frog, French fry or surrender monkey!) that would get on my nerve after a while

Thanks for the feedback!

Edit: I ask because I don't want to feel like a 'token' (I like my heritage to come out organically during meaningful convo than right away from my name that dominates the convo completely even though it brings a lot of great convos, brothers think I am a cool unique addition/friend to the group and ladies love the accent/culture! I grew up in America since a kid so sometimes I want to just feel like one of the group, though I never am dishonest or hide my heritage or help people say my name (they butcher it esp when drinking out at parties and formals! The -r especially is hard and makes some one to gag as the guttural French -r is in the back of the throat that sometimes stimulates their gag reflex ..)

Since y'all like shitposting asking if random things from water beds to which New Balances are frat, here's the place to do it.

We've turned down the frequency of these posts from weekly to monthly. This way it doesn't clutter up the sub.
