Come hell or high water, I will be at his initiation. I plan on finding out from the pledge trainer when it is, telling Clark that I can't make it, and then surprising him by showing up.

My nephew is now a pledge for............................................... .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ........


SIGMA CHI!!!!

You have no idea how happy and proud I am. I promise that I did not push him to join. He did send me this message: "When it came down to it, I really liked the members, I liked the organization, and I knew that if they were good enough for my uncle, they're good enough for me."

So I am seriously 1 proud, happy uncle and member of Sigma Chi.

So, that's pretty much it for this thread. I will update when initiation rolls around. And, I will be writing another fraternity recruitment thread in 3 years when Clark's brother goes through. Since there were a couple of Kid Flash fans who read this, I'll call him Wally.

I'll include the code. Remember, Clark thought that all of the groups had something going for them.

Justice League - Delta Chi

Justice Society - Lambda Chi Alpha

Legion of Super Heroes - Pi Kappa Alpha

Outsiders - Sigma Nu

X-men - Sigma Phi Epsilon

Avengers - Sigma Tau Gamma

Defenders - Theta Xi

The group that has colonized at the campus is Alpha Gamma Rho. Clark has spent a lot of summers on our family's farm. He really enjoys being there. He and I (and I should have known better) were under the impression that you have to be majoring or minoring in some sort of Agricultural degree, so we thought he wasn't eligible. Only after talking to the Ag teacher on my campus (an AGR alumn), did I find out that not all AGR chapters require the Ag department major.

But, that's okay, because Clark really liked Sigma Chi from the outset. Of course, hearing about it all his life from his uncle didn't hurt.

Lane, I learned the same exact lesson. My first quarter GPA was a 1.5 :eek: for the same exact reasons (too much partying, and I never had to study in high school and thought it would be the same in college). After intervention from Theta, and threats from my mom ("If you're going to flunk out of college, you can do that at home at the community college!"), I pulled a 3.0 the next term and was fine after that. He'll do it!

1st Semester: 2.1 GPA - Getting to explain to your father whyyou made a "D" in Art Appreciation = Priceless.

2nd Semester: 3.2 GPA - Getting to explain to your father why you couldn't have done the same thing 1st semester = Priceless.
