Greek Life

Bombadillo · 10-30-2006, 01:56 AM

Hey! I'm back! It's clearly been a while since I've visited here, but I still think fondly of the moot sometimes. Esspecially if I ever get to the Silmarillion again, I'm finishing that journal I started.

I've missed things, I'm sure. I'm going to look around after I make this post. You all missed the part where I accepted a bid to Alpha Phi Delta fraternity, too. Now I'm a pledge, which isn't bad.

It was kind of ridiculously spontaneous. But I established that all of these guys rock far more than I expected frat brothers could rock. I thought, why not? I'm hanging out with these people from now on anyway. The only downside now is facing that frat boy stereotype, you know?

So, what do mooters think about fraternities and sororities? Be honest!

Who do you know that's in one? Yourself? Any experiences with some?

Liked Animal House or didn't you?

My question is: "Greek life, or Greek love?"

I wasn't in a sorority, but my mom was, and loved it!

Just be careful of the drinking ... moderation now will save you a heap of trouble later! [/mom mode]

Stereotypes are well-deserved, in most cases

.

I've always wondered: exactly what do Fraternities or Sororitites do? They seem to be a useless club...no wrong in that, since the club part might be the biggest reason for joining...

I think they're mostly for fun and a way to meet people, but most of them (at least in my time) tacked on some charity for good measure

Some of them are big-time family things - if your mom was a delta-phi, then YOU better be one!
