"That" Brother or sister
Theres an orgazinational behavioral theory I studied one time that says in groups, personalities often dont change, only the names and faces do. As an alum, I tend to beleive this. I have seen a lot of hisotory at my chapter and can see the same people in it, just different names and faces. Examples:
The player: The guy who always gets digits. Is a dog and you dont even wanna sit close to him, because you never know when his last shot of Cipro was. The bookie: The guy you go to who will bet you on anything. The competitor: Anything is a challenge and he hates to loose. Will make you re-play him in anything, (playstation to b-ball) till he wins. The entrepanieur: The guy who is always out to make a buck, and usually does. On anything. The raging alcoholic: The bro you steer clear of when hes hammered. Cause hes a dick. The functional alcoholic: The bro who seems to study/work/think better with about 3 beers in him. The one kid you know who studies with a bud light in hand. The emotional drunk: The brother who cries when he is hammered, will tell you how much he loves/hates you. or will disappear when hammered and the whole chapter has to go look for him. The granola bar: The brother who owns nothing but sandals and camping gear and you know was born 25 years too late. He belongs in the 70's. The grease monkey: Kid who always is gonna do soemthing to his car. The pot head: Brother who is always stoned. The love junkie: The brother who always has to be in a relatiosnhip. The hick: Every chapter has one. Adopt a dork: The goofy kid who got in because he had the 4.0, and ya'll managed to make him cool soemhow. The dirty: The brother you think doesnt bathe nearly enough. Maybe they do, but they always look disheveled/greesy. And they dont own an iron. The homeless kid: The brother who is a vagrant for all practical purposes. He sleeps wherever he puuts his head down, comes home about every 4 days for a change of underwear and clothes. The professional: Kids been in the chapter 6 years. Wont ever graduate. Keeps changign majors to avoid the real world/student loans. The hookup: The guy who knows everybody on campus and can get you anything. Even if your financial aid has been terminated, he can somehow make a call and get it resinstated. Kinda like Red in "The Shawshank Redemption" MacGuiver: Could build a bomb out of a tampon and some hand lotion. Should your plane go down in the andees, this kid is at the top of your list for "must haves" IT Director: Chapter technophile who has to have every tech gadget. Usually gets messed with by the other brothers. Often they hide his stylus on his palm pilot and watch him freak. The movie star: The kid who parties like a rock star all the time and spends all his money on clothes, so he can look good going out. I know yall have these personalities and others in ya'lls chapters. So pony up. I wanna hear the girls takes too. |
that's a cool way of looking at it. I am taking organizational behavior this semester, but I guess we haven't got to that part yet :p
|
That's hilarious, and so true! :D
|
Andy, that is so funny! And you hit the nail right on the head, too. When I've gone back and visited with my chapter, it felt like I was on the set of "Saved by the Bell: the New Class". Same people, but different names.
|
I know that my sisters would say I was 'the movie star'
I'm always out doing something or going somewhere I'm always in Banana Republic/Limited/Express buying clothes for work and they end up being worn to the club instead |
Some of those are present in my chapter, but not all...
What about??? The eternal crusher - always talking to girls, has no problem getting phone numbers or getting dates for parties, but never makes it past that final hurdle to find himself in a relationship (this would be me) The corrupted kid - Came to college completely innocent and you and your pledge brothers corrupted him...now he's the biggest lush in your house, and has had more hookups than anyone else (after swearing in the first week freshman year that he wasn't going to have sex until marriage) The tee-totaler (sp?) - aka the corrupted kid with will power - Same type of kid as the guy who was corrupted only had the power to just say no. The unbelievable - Kid who studies like a Nobel winner sunday through wednesday to keep his 4.0 (in Chemistry or some other difficult science major) and then parties like a rock star thursday through saturday...not unusual to find him passed out anywhere in the house except for his own bed...amazes everyone continually with how much he drinks...will probably get psorosis of the liver as a senior. The crazy SOB - The guy who seriously worries everyone b/c he does some of the craziest stuff...he's a risk managament issue in and of himself...does things that no one can understand, says thigns that no one else would ever say... (In my chapter, the Crazy SOB is also the Unbelievable) |
Re: "That" Brother or sister
Let me say this, they're all funny but my faves are (in no particular order):

These two deserve an award. The "I Was ROTFLMAO! award!!! http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmilies.de/lach.gif The hookup: The guy who knows everybody on campus and can get you anything.

Kinda like Red in "The Shawshank Redemption" Actually, my roomate who is a brother, I got his financial aid back for him this semster. |

hahhaha. We refer to our former servicemen as "The VFW Post" hahhaha. Forgot about them. |
I recognize so many of those personalities from my chapter or from other sororities or fraternities. I don't think that I was any of these personalities. I was more of a social butterfly. I knew almost everyone and they knew me, but I was not a player :eek: or the hookup. I was the sister that people wanted to be stranded on a desert island with. :p I think it's because I would get the job done.
I always thought that The Breakfast Club had good stereotypes: the princess, the basketcase/outcast, the nerd, the jock, the criminal. We had a few of those, too. |
I love this thread! I can definitely find some of those personalities in my sorority.
XOXO, Annie. |
TOOOOOO FUNNNNY!!!
This is an awesome thread!!
Good job lifesaver I copied and pasted it into an email and sent it to all my sisters with their name next to "personality" they are most like!! ... although, I'm sure some will get me for it in the morning |
I'm deff. without a doubt the hookup.
|
I know you have one of these
What about the guy/girl who knows EVERYTHING about your org., and probably has attended every signle event since the moment he/she pledged?
Usually this person holds lots of offices, could practically recite the bylaws, and wears letters every day. |
Too true. This thread is cracking me up!
DeltaBetaBaby- I was just going to add that. :D You forgot "Starts singalongs of sorority songs where ever she happens to be. Cannot see a sister on the other side of the Student Union without running up and attacking her. When she's not in letters, she's wearing your colors." |
Re: I know you have one of these
Quote:
how about the objective observer... the sister or brother who knows everyones sh** and can tell you the real story amidst all the drama? that'd be one of my best friends... i always go to her to figure out what's up |
WOW
My chapter has been in some serious trouble lately. There has been nice new email or anything for the last week. SO THANK YOU LIFESAVER!!!!!!!!
I sent this out to my sisters, and put down which personality everyone was, and they laughed all night!! Honestly, this really saved us this semester.. or at least this rush...so thank you once again LIFESAVER... amazing thread!! EVERYONE.... send this to your GLO's with who each and everyone is!!! |
How about The Dinosaurs .... The people who pledged about 7 years before the current seniors were freshmen, who hold real, respectable jobs, yet every weekend, they show up around the house, partying their @$$es off, yelling at all the newer members, telling them how they "did things in the old days".
And sorority girls, you know these, I'm sure, The "Holier than Thou " sisters; the Seniors who yell at all of the younger girls for their questionable "moral judgements" yet when they themselves were freshmen, they were in a different guy's bed every weekend. |
oh god, the Dinosaurs! The guys who have forgetten that they graduated like 3 years ago, still come to every house party and rush event, still go to formal and flirt with the freshman girls. I have met some of these guys who are old enough to be my father!
The thread is hilarious!! :D |
How about the MIA brothers that shows up in a blue moon. We got one, great guy, but he was an engineering major and lived in the lab. He'll show up once in a while for rush and mixers, and he always get rushed by sorority girls thinking this guy is a prospective. That was also me in my last year due to my senior thesis and working. I got rushed by an AEPhi. :)

Careful, because when The Junkie graduates, she often grows up into...the Dinosaur! Which I pretty much was during law school, when I was still living on campus. Ivy |
i don't know if every chapter has this guy, but we always have the prematurely old guy... he's a sophomore and goes to bed at 10 o'clock on friday night, hangs out with his g/f like he's married, sits in a corner at the parties, and talks about last semester like they were the good old days.
then there's the variation of that. the premature old guy, who talks like he's been there forever. doesn't just know chapter history, but talks like he was there. i had one brother i met when i was a freshman, i thougt he must've been chapter advisor, but it turned out he had just pledged. i would've sworn he was there at the founding in 1899! |

Yeah thanks for the compliment on this thread. I am glad it lightened things up. I got the idea for it in chapter on tuesday when one of the JI's makes an announcment during open discussion (he's the businessman) about how he, "bought 10 lbs of amber from some guy in Lithuania on ebay and its real cheep right now but the amber market is about to explode. So if you want in, now is the time." I busted up, as did the rest of the chapter, but then remembereed that hes the bro that drives the c-class HE PAID FOR HIMSELF. It got me thinking abou tthe different personalities. I forgot the disosaurs. Thats so used to be me too. lol.I quit hanging out when I realized that I remembered the year the NM's were born in. lol. |
the "special guest star"
That's the sister that is involved in a zillion campus activities and might impress people when they see her in your letters, but never is there for the sisters or does anything for the chapter. |
Quote:
ROTFLMAO! That is the funniest thing I have read in weeks. "Special Guest Star." lol. bwahahhahahahahhahah. My boss is seriously wondrering what coudl be so funny about booking her stay at Embassy Suites next week. lol |
Re: I know you have one of these
Quote:
"special guest star" I called her the Ghost. |
What about...
In The Know: This brother/sister knows the most about the chapter and its members. This is the person you come to when you need a quick answer, a problem fixed, or some juicy gossip. This was definitely me. http://www.bhra.org.uk/graphics/smil...d_std/lips.gif |
Haha we definately have
The People Magazine: The girl who is so caring and sharing, the perfect sister.... till she gets wind of juicy gossip and spreads the love even more. The Soap Star: The same girl who is the caring, perfect sister, but can turn a ant hill into a mountain in .2 seconds. |
how about the I wanna be a brother sister ?? You know the one who's ALWAYS hanging out with "that certain" fraternity... constantly talking up their events... knows their pledges every semester... refers to the chapter's members as "her boys"...
|
I forgot the Martyr.
THe borther or sister that constantly complains about beign underappreciated (even tho they are the ones that show up to only the fun stuff) and begins every sentence with, "If it wasnt for me, ya'll would be (fill in the blank)" :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Yah yah, you singlehandly kept the chapter open/got us chartered (even tho you were 5 at the time we got the charter)kept us from making a terreble mistake/ and all the worthwhile brothers you recruited (even tho you were were in europe on exchange that semester) and all the slacker brothers you rallied against and voted no on... all while working on that cure for cancer in the bio lab and maintaining your 4.0 (in reality 2.75). :rolleyes: |
Oh, theres "Wheel of Fortune"
The brother or sister you've knwon for a few years and STILL cant pronounce, much less spell their last name. |
Oh my god - the "i wanna be a brother sister" is so me (at least like a year ago, which is when I broke up with the guy in that fraternity i was dating, and then he was an a$$...on and on).
I practically lived at that fraternity house. My friends would call there looking for me. At my school is the Alpha chapter, so a lot of guys from other schools come visit. One guy from UK said to me, "Damn, are you the sweetheart or something?" I said no, and he said, "Well you should be." And on bid day 2 years ago, the brothers put me in charge of teaching the new pledges some of the fraternity cheers. ....I know...I am the biggest dork ever. :rolleyes: |
