Should mostly quarters playing fraternities be integrated with beer pong players?
 

hey guys,

i learned how to play quarters in a fraternity.

I think quarters is the greatest game ever. I mean, i'm sure there are fraternities out there that are strictly beer pong frats, but to each their own.

I mean, we'd like to have the beer pong guys come out, but they mostly stick with their beer pong frats. I mean, we wouldn't NOT give them a bid just cuz they're beer pong guys, but they just don't seem interested in us.

I think all frats should be comprised of representative numbers of quarters players and beer pong players.

Even though i was born and bred on quarters and that's what i know best.

Kitso
KS 361 matches of quarters the president and i won as members of Team NO FUN in the World Quarters Tournament

I'm sure you're attempting to draw an analogy.

What about us girls who can play quarters????? :p :D :p

not really, i can't draw that well.


Well,

girls that can play quarters can join sororities for quarter playing girls. girls that prefer beer pong can join the beer pong sororities. in my ideal Greek Life office, there is a niche for everyone's favorite recreational activitiy.

Kitso
KS 361 times i'd still beat ya, ma'am ;)

I can tell. ;)

please don't discriminate against flippy cup playing orgs!! ;)

What about those chapters who have mastered the art of Anchor Man?

look, look, we can all come to the table under the banner of Greek unity.

See you people are getting off track already. Next thing i'm going to be hearing about how quarters orgs are discriminating against those with carpel tunnel syndrome, then we'll have a pre-med and pre-law student come in here to debate the nomenclature of specific tendons and muscles in the human wrist.

the SOLE question here IS, should we quarter players accept the beer pong kids into our orgs? i say YES.

Now, I may get flamed for this...but

I believe in strict SEGREGATION of
Flip Cup Orgs
Beer Pong Orgs
Quaters Org
and Cards Org

We tried to intergrate it, and it was just plain MESSY!!! The balls bouncing every distracted the card players, flip cup is just plain sticky, and the waste of the quaters??

I have no idea what anchor man is...so i'll just leave them alone and say they are not cool enough for a category

Don't forget that the foosball players were upset that everything was landing in the foosball table and messing them up!!! :D

but don't you understand, a little bit of all of the games is essential for a truly diverse chapter.

That way when you're on campus and challenged by a Beer ponger, if you're a metal-bouncer you can say, My org IS diverse, we've got a ponger, a flipper and 2 carders. They get really good grades and are really well spoken.

Kitso
KS 361 times leave it to a NORTHERNER to bring up segregation of the recreational activities :)

ETA: Dang, i have to go to the gym now, don't ya'll go gettin my thread deleted

Quarters is sooooo much better than beer pong...BUT

@sshole is soooo much better than Quarters!

Okay, we've mentioned pongers and flippers and carders, and of course noone knows what the heck Anchor Man is, but what about hand-eye coordinated drinking games? I think those are far superior because it takes skill to be able to keep the rhythm going after a few drinks....

Due to my lack of knowledge on teh current terminology, this one my fit in a category already listed, but there are also those of us who prefer rolling the quarter off of our nose........

Part of the pled... ahem... new member education program should really be teaching the mysteries of Cardinal Puff! :D

Once again everyone forgets the caps players, we are a minority, but our game takes years of practice and skill, and for this we are discriminated against by the majority beer pong and quarters players.

Damn the man.

who's up for a round of Kings???

well hey, since we bouncers are the hegemony, er, majority, er, whatever we feel the need to upkeep the status quo.

smartblonde,

i'd pay 361 bucks to see you do that once :D

Anchor Man
 

One picnic table.
Two teams, one seated on each side of the table.
Two kegs of beer (non-alcoholic, of course ;)), one for each team.
Two cups, one for each team.

No one may throw up.
No one may spill beer.
No one may leave the table.
No one may relieve himself at the table.

First team to finish off their keg, wins.

Re: Anchor Man
 

that doesn't sound like a drinking game as much as it sounds like mass suicide.

WHy not just put some cyanide in the beer and make it quicker?

In fact, due to the Taliban sounding nature of your game Russ, us bouncers will close off membership to y'all.

Re: Re: Anchor Man
 

No one ever died from playing it, at least not in my chapter. Its more than a game, its a sport, complete with the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.

Remember that its called Anchor Man, so not everyone can play.:p

So glad to see a fellow Caps brother wasn't afraid to speak up. And as a minority minority (a female caps player) I feel particularily discriminated against! :p

The way that anchor man is played at my school is that there is a pitcher in the center of the table and the two teams try to get all of their quarters into the pitcher first. The team that loses (fails to get their quarters in first) has to drink the whole pitcher.... The pitcher cannot be removed from the person's lips until they are done. The entire team has to drink from the pitcher, passing it down the line....the last person may have to drink 3/4 of the beer, but cannot remove the pitcher from his lips...hence the name "anchor man."

I support the integration of all of these manners of sport into fraternities and sororities. Plus, it could greatly expand Greek Week...if previously only one fraternity was dominated by, say, exceptional quarters players, who would they compete with? This way each org has an equal chance at dominating...and if one org was able to champion more than one category (ABC Sorority wins at quarters and beer pong!) then obviously they are the shit. I like this thread, it should definitely stay.

I suck at quarters and beer pong.

There's CUPS (not to be confused w/ flip cup, cups is much stupider) and Up & Down the River, but the really bad one is Questions. Do not play this game with Sigma Chis. :p

I've got you all on quarters. Bring it.

Now wait, what about the 3-man players?

Girl,

every Tuesday night was Tuesday Night Quarters.

I've played more games of quarters than the number of consecutive posts starang has in the "other" thread.

But, i welcome all challengers :)

BTW, in the quarters playing frat, we have many different families. We have the 2 on 2 Team Quarters family, the Speed Quarters family, the Chandaliers(sp) Family, et al. There is a place for all bouncers in our frat.

no,

Beer Pong is better. :cool:

It's been a really long time, but I used to be really good.

Re: Anchor Man
 

We did something similar for Sigma Chi Derby Days (back in 88) but each woman had two cups of beer (actually near beer, which is really gross) and you went down the table one way, and back up the table (drinking one cup each time) and first team done won. I think it was 5 person teams and yes, I was the one who got to be at the far end and swig both cups one after the other. It doesn't even SOUND appealing to me now........

I can see I am truly in the minority because no one has mentioned Beer Die (a hand-eye game played with cups and dice). Anyone want a Beer Die girl in their org? :confused:

And that whole Anchor Man thing...the one with two kegs...is absolutely insane!

Definitely! I have a beer pong queen buddy icon. :p I am THE champ!

Hey Kitso, weren't you trying to bust out in a game of quarters at Duke's?

I'm the Champ as well. I'd say we have a beer pong tournament to decide who is the true champion of all beer pong mania. ;) :p

Was I?

I wouldn't have been surprised. I'm scared that i'm getting rusty cuz i haven't played in about a year. Not too many quarters players on the rez.

Hopefully when i move in with my USD brothers this summer i can introduce them to the beauty that is quarters.

KS 361 times if you explain Beer Die Kelly, we'll talk :D

Re: Should mostly quarters playing fraternities be integrated with beer pong players?
 

Straight up, I think beer pong is the coolest game ever invented. I got kicked 5 Sigma Chi's butts at beer pong and even got put on the beer pong wall of fame. Those were my crazier days.........:D

Bring it! :p

Are you saying you want me to explain it 361 times? I think I'll pass on that.... but here's the short version.
Kind of like beer pong, two people at each end of a long table (like you would find in a frat house). You sit down though, not stand. There's a cup on the table in front of each person. The object is to get the dice to hit one of the opposing teams cups or to get the dice in the cup. There are a lot of crazy rules to make it harder, which I'll be glad to tell you about if you really want to know. Now can I join???

oh, sorry, you didn't need to explain it 361 times. That's just kinda my way of signing posts sometimes.

Well, we in the bouncers frat would love to take you, you're just the kind of weirdo-er-individual that we could point to as a symbol of our diversity :p

seriously, some GCer in the midwest needs to hold a World GC Beer Pong Tournament sometime this summer, i'm thinkin late july. That would give all parties interested in showing up time to get there. I know i'd be down.



Kitso
KS 361 crazy rules i'm down for, if they call for the removal of clothing :D

Hey Kitso, Beer Pong and Quarters ONLY in the Texas wing? :p

I played Long Island Pong because I didn't like beer, but I am ALL for this tournament. :D
