Should I join a Frat?
 
Hello,

I am really interested in the whole Greek scene; however, I am really bad at sports. I am in shape and all, I work out a few times a week, but any sport that involves hitting, throwing, kicking a ball I just suck at. I was told that a lot of the Greek life revolves around athletics. Do you think that I should still consider joining? Will I still be accepted even though I suck?
I do enjoy watching sports by the way.

Thanks

Several things tell me you aren't real, but I'll still bite...

Greek Life does not revolve around sports. Athletics can be one aspect of the Greek experience, but there are other things involved. You need to do some research.

You gotta be able to bench 200 pounds at least to even be considered in my chapter

It depends what school you are at and what chapter you join. There usually is such a thing as a "jock" fraternity at every campus, but there are also the "420" and "WoW" fraternities.

Upon arrival on campus view who is the most active and visible fraternity on campus. Keys to a successful campus fraternity would include sports, leadership, campus involvement, philanthropic and most important a sense of brotherhood. Is their an active alumni, alumni board/housing corp/ talk to the chapter adviser. what are their three and four year goals for growth and self development.

All greek letter organizations have anti-suckage clauses.

What is with the random bumps today? Is it that RushSigEp guy who's deleting all his posts?

Yeah it was him. Though It isn't him deleting them since some of them have been responded to.

I just figured he changed his mind later. But ah well.
