Well to me southern greek life isn't about not giving a crap, but just not caring about trends, and what people unimportant to you may criticize. Hence sticking with the classics when it comes to clothing, and acting in the way we were raised, which usually includes keeping your character above reproach and conservative values.

There's a difference between having a problem with something, and thinking it's stupid. I don't have a problem with guys wearing croakies, I just think it's kind of stupid.

Do I have a problem with you not bidding a black/Asian/homosexual person because you don't like them? No. Do I have a problem with you not bidding them even if you do like them simply because they're black/Asian/homosexual? Yes.

As far as "keeping your character above reproach and conservative values," I must have missed the fratty posts that celebrate those. They must be hidden between the threads entitled "N _ _ _ _ _ Joke of the Day" and "Birth Control and C _ _ - In Or Out?"

Ho-lee shit. If that's what southern Greek life vindicates, I'm sure as hell glad I'm on the west coast :eek:

Thats what I usually wear in the summer, khakis with a polo or oxford w/brown leather belt . I also have a bad flip-flop fetish( I have about 6 pairs of sandals) but where I'm from only lesbians/hippies wear birks.

I too am glad you are on the west coast. Also, in regards to who we give bids to, I disagree somewhat. I don't really come across many minorities at my school that would really fit in in my fraternity. Most black students at my school are generally part of popular black culture, and that doesn't work for us. However, I'm pretty sure our preppy white southern culture doesn't really work for most of them either. I'm not sure what would happen if we were approached by a minority who would be a good fit, because it hasn't happened since I've been here. Actually, I don't believe any minority has attempted to rush my fraternity during my tenure. That aside, I would have a problem with bidding a gay person. I'm sure there will be reactions such as "not all gay guys are attracted to all other guys" and I'm positive that is true. That being said, it would make the large majority of my fraternity uncomfortable, and would go against the ideals of my fraternity, and the faith of most of the brotherhood. Unfortunately, like I said, many on this board would probably consider me a racist and a homophobe, despite the legitimacy and logic of my reasoning.

sup dude? how you doin?

I wish I had more hands so I could give them titties 4 thumbs down!

--How's that for "ill-mannered Northern speech"?

This thread smells like zima and hair gel.

I'm not sure I ever said that I didn't consider racial slurs rude. I simply said that I find the people on GreekChat MORE rude than all those "Racial slurring rednecks" as I'm sure someone would've put it, on Fratty.

You can't divorce the racism from fratty.net. Fratty IS racism, more than it's about anything else.


If you're so proud of who you are and what you believe in, the post your org and chapter. But wait, you're hiding behind an anonymous screenname.

At least he's being honest. :(

Oh please elaborate on this one.
