What the fuck.
Yes, this whole thread does seem to be about what the OP effs.

joining either group will offer opportunities to you: networking, social opportunities, potential leadership opportunities, etc.

as to having more desirable sex partners to choose from, if you were a hot guy with a great personality and lots of money who knew how to treat a lady, it would not matter to me which, if any, letters you were sporting around campus.

Yes, because my being in a fraternity is the one and only reason I'm able to get ass.

Or what he doesn't fuck, you know, since you have to be in a GLO to get some.

I know that Sigma Chi has helped me out on several occassions. My first 2 jobs out of college were through my fraternity connections. Even years later, I have had people notice my ring and say, "Oh, Sigma Chi". I've had friends in other fraternities where this has happened to them.

Can you be in Alpha Kappa Psi and a social fraternity at the same time (I honestly don't know)? Why not rush a social group first and then AKPsi 2nd (if allowed)?
Good answer

When I initiated, the membership packet from my national office explained, in detail, how I no longer would have to suffer from 5s and 6s, but now got to get with 9s and 10s.

Obviously it's the only reason I joined.

I'm curious what GLO are you in?

The main reasons I want to rush is the relationships you build with the brothers, the networking you partake in general on campus, and the potential connections for the future. Since I am a business major, I believe it is extremely important to be involved in Greek life.

And yes the brothers of the fraternities I mention, as well as others, have asked me to rush every semester since I have been here. Most of the hearing and seeing has occurred first hand or from the brothers I know.

Thank you for the last part, I agree it would be best for me to remain anonymous for obvious reasons. However, I'm very private about my intentions so I would be surprised if anyone would be able to figure out who I am. I do see what you are saying, and I will be more careful.
Why didn't you rush two years ago? Or last year? Remember, just because you are interested in THEM, doesn't mean that they will give you a bid. Or initiate you. In some cases, bid =/= initiation.

His tone makes it seem like they are interested in him and would give him a bid lol.

I may be very wrong here but it seems like you know people these organizations and they want you to join? You're not just picking 3 UCF frats you like

BemoreLXA 01-14-2011 03:46 PM
Note: I'm fine with calling other fraternities frats because they are not Lambda Chi, so before anyone calls me a hypocrite haha

knight_shadow 01-14-2011 03:47 PM

I would normally get mad, but you're a 9, so I'll let it slide.

Just this once, though.

Hey, does anyone know when the next season of ANTM starts?

/Seemed about as relevant as anything else in this thread.

knight_shadow 01-14-2011 04:33 PM
According to Wiki, Feb 23

AlphaFrog 01-14-2011 04:42 PM
Darn! I was hoping it would move since Survivor is on Wednesday again. Oh well, it was nice last season only keeping up with one show.

knight_shadow 01-14-2011 04:47 PM
Speaking of ANTM -- I ended up watching last season on Y_outube because the winner is from Dallas. That show is getting to be a little over the top.

Getting? A little? It's been there. A lot.



Why else would I watch it?:o

Yea, you're right. I will only watch now if I'm completely bored. I don't care to see Tyra showing off her "smize" or whatever.

If they have regular workshops on etiquette, politeness and how to conduct yourself as a mature adult, then I would say the business fraternity is a STUPENDOUS idea.

There were many ways to ask the things you wanted to know without being so crude. The sooner you learn them, the better, because I hate to break it to you - you might end up with a woman as your boss sometime and she won't put up with your adolescent misogyny.

If the Sigma Chis (or any fraternity) at UCF have seen this thread, even if they HAVE offered you a bid, I wouldn't be surprised if it was recinded - especially since you've basically said the only reasons you want to join are to help you in your career and to get laid. Whether or not that is their day to day M.O. matters little - the last thing any fraternity wants is someone who blatantly says "this is all it's about."

I don't exactly agree with this. He said he wants to find answers to questions that he wouldn't ask in public. If he's asking these questions here, then that means he is polite and uses proper etiquette because he will not ask them in public. Its hard to say "I want to have sex with hottest babes" without offending someone. And if he's asking it here, then he understands his image in a public setting to a higher degree than you give him credit.

I feel as if there is a lot more to a fraternity for this guy than what he put out there. He gave us as much info about him and what he wants as was needed and thats fine. Fucking bitches is great, anyone can tell you that

See, this is why you see no problem with it, because you're as crude as he is.

There are ways to say it - "my guy friends in so and so fraternity are meeting awesome women" - without descending into gutter language. I'm not pretending to be shocked that guys talk like that - hell, girls talk like that occasionally - but a forum like this is not the place for it.

And this is far from being an "anonymous" forum.

DubaiSis 01-15-2011 01:19 PM
You know, to thine own self be true. I think the guy sounds like a pig, but he knows what he is. The decision is between career assistance or college sex life. The presumption is that with the business fraternity he'd get one but not the other, and with the social fraternity he might get both.

I'd like to tell him to grow up and keep it in his pants, but hey, I was young once. And so many guys don't start putting their priorities in the correct order until 25 at least, and 30 more likely.

I wish he had been more discreet in naming specific fraternities, because it makes me assume those guys are also a bunch of pigs. And that's not fair to them. And 33 is right, his question could have easily been asked without offending so many of us if he had thought at all about his audience. This is the type of thing that fraternity life can teach him, if he lets it. At the very least, use condoms, and when you get a funny itch, get to the doctor BEFORE hitting the bars again.

It's actually not that hard to figure it out. You've given more clues than you think. As a UCF alum, I can say with certainty that both fraternities and sororities (including my own) have cut potential members during rush because of things that were said on the internet. Yes, UCF Sigma Chi is a good chapter. Yes, girls like them. But the alumni I know from Sigma Chi were classy guys and would never want stuff on the internet about how they only "eff girls who are 9s and 10s." I doubt the current members of Sigma Chi would want such a misogynist statement out there either.

UCFalpha 02-10-2011 06:20 AM
Thank you everyone for your help, especially BemoreLXA!

I ended up rushing the social fraternities (never even showed up to any of the business fraternity's rush events), and ended up accepting my bid to one of UCF's prestigious social fraternities! I am really busy, but really enjoying my pledge time!

Thank you again to everyone that gave me real answers and helped me figure out what I wanted to do! I realize now that I made the right decision, and I am so happy!

is taking bets that the douchbag OP drops before initiation.

How did I miss this the first time around?

So we don't get to know who the lucky and "prestigious" social fraternity is? Bummer.

elicampbell 02-10-2011 03:03 PM
I hope the prestigious chapter knows the have a "prestigious " new member? $ 20 on him bailing out.
