Which UCLA frat?
 

Hey Guys,

Ok which frat at UCLA has the most parties and is the most active socially? Any tips?

Thanks

Trainwreck.

Calling it now.

/Just sayin'

In before the lock!

it's which ever one i'm at, son!

You're better off going through fraternity rush at UCLA and letting each fraternity give you their spiel.

There is a lot more to fraternities than good parties. If you are interested in making some great friends and involving yourself in community projects, meeting new people on campus, AND those parties, then you should look into all of the fraternities during rush and accept an invitation to the one where you feel like you fit in the best. Otherwise, you may end up joining a group and paying dues where they may have the best parties, but you don't like the members... and the parties are a very small part of a brotherhood.

Hope this helps! Students in your UCLA classes might have perceptions of the different fraternities to share-- but everyone has a different opinion about who is the best and why. You are better off going through rush and making that decision for yourself once you have all of the information from the fraternities and have gotten a vibe for the members in each one.

Quoted for a real reply. :p

:eek:

Oh no! THAT WORD!

:rolleyes:

Kappa Kappa Kappa hands down.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Delta Tau Chi.

lmao @ Tri-Lambda...
ya'll some fools...Revenge of the Nerds...

A lot of people come onto this board knowing nothing about Greek Life or what is an appropriate question. Just trying to be helpful :)

I know a lot of fraternity members and alumni who call it a frat and see nothing wrong with it, and have never associated the word frat with a bad or dirty word.

I've never heard "frat" used as a bad thing to call a fraternity. Can someone PM me the reason it would be considered bad?

There's an educated, well-thought out response somewhere in the middle.

By the way, there are tons of threads about the use of the word "frat". This thread's just one POV of many.

lmao @ that "frat" thread...yeah son was an idiot with him analogy, and the other dude elephant walk too...

The explanation I received in college was: you wouldn't call your country a c**t so you shouldn't call your fraternity a frat. :D

I'm not going to deny fraternity members who wish others to not use "frat," but I have always thought that analogy to be ridiculous. The c-word is a dirty word in common vernacular, whereas frat does not carry the same connotation.

Regardless, I will never refer to a fraternity as a frat, but it is out of respect to those men who have expressed such. Other fraternity men don't care and call it a frat, frat brothers, etc. I think it depends on where you are from.

Didn't we just have this same discussion last week?

And last year and several times before.

I don't use the word "frat." Nor do I use "frat brother."

Some do, and that's OK, but personally I think it sounds demeaning.

As for the "c" word analogy -- it's silly.

That topic again? Really?

Yes, we did, starting here.

Really. :rolleyes:

And the "would you call your country . . . " comparison is still just as lame as it was last week, and last month, and last year, and the year before that . . . .
