Fraternity

Sigma Chi

One of the best choices I have ever made, a great group of men, and a wonderful experience.

I have life long friends from Sigma Chi, and when I was playing basketball with Woody Harrelson in Austin, we got to have a long chat afterwards because we are both Sigs.

Good times...

Nothing like buying your friends.

 

THANK YOU, im not pledging because I have a little much self esteem.

 

got yourself black balled, huh?

 

or no fraternity wants your money

 

Delta Tau Chi. I was a legacy... Anyone guess that reference?

I was actually in Kappa Alpha Tau, a percussion fraternity.

 

No frat for me.

I spent my money on NBA League Pass.

 

Hey...gimme a break, this is my first troll on CC.net

Sorry, Frats just strike a nerve with me. I don't know why. I never tried to get in one, nor did I ever have any interest in doing so. Not sure exactly what it is, but most people in Frats/Sororities I've met (especially freshmen just barely joining) have a holier than thou attitude. Maybe it was just the people I ran into. Nevertheless, I don't like em.

 

i can't remember the fraternity, i think it was lambda sigma delta

 

When I was at UT, every frat guy wanted to do one of the following:

a. Make merciless fun of me because of my long hair.
b. Attempt to buy drugs from me because of my long hair.
c. Act like I was the coolest guy in the world because I played music at one of their frat houses.

My musician friends did one of the following:

a. Made fun of them for being such drunk dumbasses.
b. Took their money to do gigs while giving them a Animal-House-like snub when they came to a gig. (Otis! My man!)
c. "Borrowed" their sorority girlfriends.

The whole thing was pretty sad all the way around.

 

You mean Lambda Lambda Lambda?

 

oh, that's right, i remember you now. how's jim?

 

I have been interested in some fraternities here in my school, but I heard most fraternities make you do stuffs like hold an egg with your ass, or eating whole jar of hot peppers. Are those true?

 

I don't know what frats were like for you guys, but I have yet to meet a frat guy who struck me as good or down to earth person. All the frat guys I know are abercrombie and fitch, trucker hat wearing zombies.

Even if I'd found a frat that I wanted to join, like the Deltas from animal house, I could never afford the dues.


Animal House, house, house.

Nobody ever went to class. Then we saw Donald Sutherland's ass!

Animal house, house, house, Animal house, house, house.

Then they did the end like American Graffiti, where you find out what happened to everyone.

 

I actually lived in Triangle for 2 years, but never joined. The best of both worlds I guess. I even had my own room. Triangle Fraternity at Kansas (where Naismith taught) played basketball with Naismith daily and helped develop the game as you know it today. Triangle, I believe, is the only fratr with no greek letters.

 

Wow, it's like you read my mind earlier. I was talking with my friend earlier and I don't remember what I had seen the day before, but I said something like...

"If I saw someone with a trucker cap, Che Guevarra shirt, with Greek letters on the back, and 80s looking shoes....I'd probably explode."



We chuckled...then went back to whatever it was we were doing.

 

What school? My brother is a Sig and I pledged when I was in college. I had to leave school though halfway through the semester, so I never made it through. We were both at Sam Houston State.

LongTime - The hazing wasn't that bad. You get to a point where you know they're just doing it to mess with you, and it doesn't phase you. My most vivid memory about being a pledge is that every day I would go to the house, one of the brothers would make me stand on a table outside and sing Puff Daddy songs

 

I did a year of Pike at UT, but it wasn't something I wanted spend alot of time or money doing after freshman year. I was in the burger king kids club too but you kind of grow out of things. $4000 is a bit much for bad beer and the same girls every weekend.
