IU Fraternity Stereotypes/Reputations
 

What are the stereotypes associated w/ these fraternities?

Sigma Chi
Delta Tau Delta (Delts)
Acacia
Kappa Sigma
Phi Psi

Fraternities to avoid? Bad reputations? I want to know a little bit about some of the fraternities on campus before Rush starts on Sept 11.

And yes, I know I shouldn't base my decision on reputations, but I have to start somewhere.

Fraternity and sorority reputations are not discussed on GreekChat.

It would be in your best interests to edit your post and remove the names of the fraternities you mentioned.

Well said 33girl.

iufrosh, your best starting point is people you know- or friends of friends- at that school. Talk to them. If you do not know any guys going there, then sorority members are a fine resources- in fact, in many ways they can be the best.

This website is a good tool in many ways- but no public forum is a good place to get the "dirt" on specific chapters.

Your best bet is to find out what you can from people who go to that school, and approach rush with an open mind. You have to be careful what friends tell you before you get into rush- so imagine how dangerous it is to rely on the opinions of strangers.

Good luck and do post back as the process gets underway. If you need guidance on rushing in general or at your school- GC can help. But picking an individual chapter is up to you.

*sigh* If you want a place to start, I have one. What about meeting the damn guys?

Dean Vernon Wormer: Greg, what is the worst fraternity on this campus?
Greg Marmalard: Well that would be hard to say, sir. They're each outstanding in their own way.
Dean Vernon Wormer: Cut the horseshit, son. I've got their disciplinary files right here. Who dropped a whole truckload of fizzies into the swim meet? Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the alumni dinner? Every Halloween, the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring, the toilets explode.
Greg Marmalard: You're talking about Delta, sir.
Dean Vernon Wormer: Of course I'm talking about Delta, you TWERP!

Which fraternity has the "damn guys" so he can heed this warning? ;)

And on the other side of the coin . . .

a lot of outstanding guys figure they'll pledge Omega or they won't pledge at all.

Maybe you should:

1. Focus on your education FIRST
2. Become positively engaged in your campus and community
3. Then RESEARCH each of the organizations on your campus and meet some of the members in order to better have an idea about so called "reputations."

Well, he might not have long to do this. Some fraternities only like to take 1st semester freshmen.

That being said, he needs to actually meet dudes rather than spend his time wanking on a website.

Sigma Chi - Radsauce
Delta Tau Delta (Delts) - Epic
Acacia - Tubular
Kappa Sigma - Righteous
Phi Psi - Groovy

Take a look at the fraternities that have the best shot at winning The Little 500 and work down from there.

Weirdly enough I have a few friends in those fraternities and the only time I've been to Indiana is when we went to French Lick as a family.

I really hate the term "frosh."

I've always judged people that refer to themselves as a" "frosh" pretty harshly.

If you're a freshman, I probably already think you're an idiot. You don't need to confirm it by calling yourself a frosh.

<3

Frosh and Frat are to of the same type of words.
 

NM

It doesn't matter, because we can still dislike the words
 

k?

We also know the difference between "to" and "two"
 

.

Why the hell are people doing this crap?
 

SRSLY?

Because you pissed off purcupile with your frosh comment
 

DUH

I don't know who purpucpus is or wtf he/she was trying to say.
 

DA

It sounds like a sex toy for porcupines
 

DAH!

I've never really laughed out loud at GC til I saw these posts
 

LOL

If guys are going to insist we talk about chapter reputations, how about a simple "code" to make it easier.

A- like to get laid and have a good time
B- can afford to get laid, but don't know how to have a good time
C- can't get laid (which also kind of addresses the good time part)
D- I thought that was a sorority house
F- Wow dude! Love the jorts!

And of course one last category for those tricky big southern schools,

AAA- please refer to ElephantWalk's sig

It almost seems like we went to the same school. Oh wait. We did. :D

Amazing, in an agreeable manner to AGZG's post regarding the term "Frosh" I posted a term "frat" that I take the same kind of exception to as he does. I certainly wasn't pissed off about his comment, as I agreed with him.

In regards to my name...Archibald Purcupile was the name of my great-great-grandfather. It is unusual, however it is what it is, and it is not what it is not e.g. a sextoy for a porcupines. But I think we are all on here to enjoy the chat and not let it degenerate into a pissing contest. I do apologize if I upset anyone.

Oh, one thing more...like all of us I sometimes make typographical errors...I'll bet you all do two. LOL

Purc

I don't understand what you posted, broski.

No one here uses the (rather silly) "insert message in title and put "No Message" in text." This is not aggregated, there's no way to read only the title and not the message, ergo it's dumb to do that.

Even being new you could rather clearly see that no one does that.

Also, being new and telling people what to get upset over or not is stupid, particularly when you clearly can't tell when people are upset.

If this bitch thinks I'm upset, oh sheesh...

Archie the Fifth doesn't know this isn't Usenet or Listserv, I figure we can save "What are emotions" for tomorrow.

Sidebar: I like porcupine sex toys.

Just sayin.

Wow, you're a dirty bird.

Really Drollfilet? Why don't you scroll up and read how many messages there are in this thread that have in a "rather silly" inserted __ message into the title slot...ergo even being new I can very clearly see that it done on here, and quite frequently.

Your reading comprehension seems to be below standard levels...as I did not tell anyone what to get upset at. Actually people using the word "stupid" to define someone other than themselves seems "rather silly".

Well now, that you have done your Nazi thread patrol while trolling for newbies why don't you crawl back under your rock.

Purc

Psst -- we were only doing it because you were doing it.

Wow. You're like 10 steps behind slow. Also the name change thing, it's been done before. And better.

20 steps behind slow, minimum.

Love it! I hope the point is made perfectly clear by this post.

smh

What...the...hell....

You scare me a little more each day.

Just a heads up: agzg (ag as in Alpha Gam) is a she, not a he. ;)

No, it's really not. I can't ever remember seeing it before this thread. As others have said, people were just mimicking you.

I knew what you meant, but it was stated . . . oddly. Learn and move on. ;);)

(And defending your own screen name while intentionally mangling the screen name of the person you're talking to? Neither cool nor mature.)

Already? Barely on page 3?

Corrolary to Godwin's Law. Sorry; you lose.

(Yeah, I know it's already been said, but I wanted in.)
