r/Frat

i’m in college and I used to party really hard but since facing some legal trouble, I am afraid of getting into more trouble, especially because the college environment at parties can potentially be dangerous in terms of legality. I am now terrified to even have one sip of alcohol because I am not 21. It’s the fear that so many things could go wrong at a party like the cops getting called and having this go on my record I know a lot of kids do it, but I feel like it’s super risky to drink at a party. how was your college experience with drinking and did anybody get in serious trouble?

Hello everybody,

Early apologies if I use the wrong flair. I've always wanted to rush a frat during undergrad, but sadly health and financial issues held me back a ton. I was diagnosed with brain cancer in high school which held me back for years before getting into college and I should be 27 in law school trying to rush at a popular SEC school in Mississippi. Would a frat accept an older member who is also in grad school? I really love the brotherhood aspect of frats and I'm hoping my age due to health issues wouldn't hold me back on missing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If so, why did you think they went ghost and how did it affect you and your chapter if at all?

Im gonna be rushing at Texas State University(TXST) and am interested in knowing how much the dues are for every fraternity? I know that this isn't a question that should be asked during rush but that will determine which fraternity I will go to cause my dad has given me a limit on how much he's willing to spend on Greek life for me at TXST. Any answers are helpful.

I was wondering if it was possible? I go to a really small school where the bar scene is pretty prominent. I wanted to meet some new people and am new in town. Would it be even worth it at this age? I’m going to school in Nevada at UNR.

I’m a DL gay guy in a house. No one knows except my sister. I don’t think anyone suspects anything, but my friend I think keeps trying to hit on me. I’d be down ya know but I don’t know if he’s gay, but how do I find out without it being weird? I promise I’m not one of the creepy guys on here.

Ive been approached by a frat on my campus w a group of 3 other freshman. the recruitment chair is really pushing us to come to the rush events.
But ive been to their house and ona tour in the house. The recruitment guy said he’s the only one who gives bids out. And he gives them out to people he likes, he also said he likes us. Ive also talked to most of the brothers and there all super chill

I know this question gets asked a lot but want an honest answer. I completed most credits at my local community college in Michigan and just transferred to Mizzou this year. I know some dudes from my hometown that go here in some frats (some in houses that I have interest in rushing). I know a few girls in a sorority too from hometown. Am I too old to attempt? Has anyone done similar? Just curious.

Oof. This is going to be a huge blow to ΣΧ nationals especially, given they were invested in the independent SCIFC. Going to give universities the exact evidence they need to argue independent IFCs are unsafe.

Graduated in 2021. Relocated to LA for work shortly after. All my leftover bros at this point are from college or highschool and we just chat on discord since we’re scattered across the country. Nobody came out here after graduating. And people just fade away.

I tried it all. Small talking regulars at the gym, LGBT volleyball league, meetup app, and church. Nobody sadly has really spoken my language. Most of my coworkers have been young middle-aged women, seniors, and a mix of married peeps with minimal time to spare. Maybe that’s the modern office environment. Anyway. I’m ready for a change and just wondering from bros on here what’s a good plan?

I’m eligible for Army Military Intelligence and Logistics, but most of my vet buddies said logistics probably won’t be aligned to my culture goals (Something about it being women-majority). I’m open as well to other MOS’s, but honestly - anything that can change my life up now would be an upgrade. I don’t even care about the money atp. I’ve title bumped enough and seen enough already of the office culture scene to start planning my exit.

Hey guys, I’m a transfer student looking to rush this semester and I’d appreciate some insight from people familiar with UF Greek life.

What is rush generally like for transfers/upperclassmen, and how much does not doing summer pre-rush matter? I’m especially curious about the culture and fit of these chapters:

Alpha Tau Omega
Sigma Chi
Sigma Nu
Pi Kappa Alpha
Delta Chi
Sigma Phi Epsilon
Beta Theta Pi

I’m mainly looking for brotherhood, networking, philanthropy, campus involvement, and a good group of guys I genuinely fit with. I’m not choosing based primarily on partying (That’s a bonus)
Any firsthand experience would be appreciated.

For rush week are you supposed to repeat the same frat or check out multiple? Does only going to one event hurt your chance?

anyone have anything to say about the Greek life at UMass? should I be reaching out to rush chairs before school?

Do frat guys still wear boat shoes or is flip flops and berks . I miss them all thr frat guys dresed prepy and wore boat shoes. Can we bring them back ?

I AM NOT CRAZY! I am not crazy. I knew that door had a lock on it. 1 after Magna Carta, as if I could ever get such a detail wrong. NEVER! I just couldn’t prove it. he covered his tracks. He got that idiot at the coffee shop to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This, this chicanery? He’s done worse. That billboard. Are you telling me a man just happens to fall like that? No! He orchestrated it. Jimmy! HE DEFECATED THROUGH A SUNROOF. And I saved him. And I shouldn’t have, I took him into my own firm. WHAT WAS I THINKING. He’ll never change, he’ll never change ever since he was 9. Always the same. Couldn’t keep his hands out of the cash drawer. But not our jimmy. COULDN’T BE PRECIOUS JIMMY! STEALING THEM BLIND! AND HE GETS TO BE A LAWYER? WHAT A SICK JOKE! I SHOULD’VE STOPPED HIM WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE. AND YOU HAVE TO STOP HIM. You-

In 12th rn, and can I still get into good frats or is it ggs for me? I heard they do early informal recruitment in the spring too but idk.

I’m rushing 4 houses and these are the rush schedules. This is at a BIG10 school with a solid Greek life presence.

House A: Sunday: 5-7PM Monday-Thursday: 6-8PM
House B: Sunday-Thursday: 5-7PM
House C: Sunday-Thursday: 6-8PM
House D: Sunday-Thursday: 5:30-7:30 PM

How should I approach rush and which days/times should I spend at each house? They are all 5-10m walking distance from one another.

it was the most boundary pushing thing I've ever had to do but I did it

I think I might’ve pulled a muscle
