Okay this is what parties arranged by a fraternity/sorority really involve: http://pinkystruelife.blogspot.com/
Different from impression others try to give here

"Nice"

ummmmm... right.....
First off, I couldn't even read that rambling mess... I gave up, it was giving me a headache.

Gotta be a pretty accurate reflection of an NIC-NPC party even though it doesn't conform to the image some groups will try and pass off.
Obviously kddani's KD chapter is excepted and only sang around pianos in between helping disadvantaged and injured puppies. :rolleyes:
Guys and girls on here know the blog entry is pretty accurate

I've been to more fraternity parties than I can count. I never saw cocaine, I never saw an orgy, and I sure as hell never heard anyone playing the Crash Test Dummies.

And if it was a "party arranged by a fraternity/sorority" non Greeks wouldn't have been allowed in. Duh!

Please, name your GLO and chapter so that your national HQ can proudly proclaim those activities to be okay. Are you even greek? Have you ever been to a fraternity party? Hell, NPC sororities can't sponsor parties where there is alcohol (unless 3rd party vendor, even then, sorority funds can't pay for it).

I'm more honest than a lot of people on here. I don't sugar coat stuff. I don't pretend problems don't exist. But pretty much the only person i've ever heard talk about parties like that is cashmoney, and they weren't greek parties.

Who are you, anyway? Your posts are always strange.

Not even women. Riight. Yes that is very true because all chapters of all NIC-NPC groups follow without exception every single possible risk management rule & recommendation of the FIPG and their bylaws, without deviation at any time. The risk mgmt. forum on this board is pretend too. :rolleyes:

An ad hominem attack is not needed. Discuss content.

Uhh that's not my blog. I was not at that particular party. You are saying it could never ever happen. OK

Re: DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER??
 

That's not what I said, hoser.

A party arranged by a fraternity AND sorority - whether it's at a bar, a Greek house or elsewhere - and whether or not alcohol is served - is referred to as a mixer or a swap. These are limited to members of the fraternity and sorority in question. It has nothing to do with alcohol.

I think I went to the wrong parties back in the day. :D Most of the ones I attended were boring...if you weren't a beer drinker there was really nothing to do.

wow and I thought beloit had wild parties...maybe I just wasn't cool enough. oh darn.

It's valid. Where's the attack? I don't know who you are, and I do think your posts are strange. Strange isn't an attack. You're posting an inflammatory post with no basis in fact. I'm going to question you.

Never said it could never happen. But you're saying that all parties are really like that. And they're not. Hell, there's a good chance that that party never happened. Blogs aren't exactly a trustworthy source of research. Maybe the blogger was trying to seem cool... happens all the time.

No one said people don't drink, party, etc. But your post makes it seem that every greek party is like the one in that blog. And they're very far from it. If there are parties like that, they'd be an exception and certainly not a rule.

So who are you? What GLO are you a part of? Where do you go to such wild parties all the time that you know this to be truth?

A party arranged by a fraternity AND sorority ...
33girl the blog said it was organised/run by a fraternity it didn't suggest it was a mixer. Some sorority members may've been there - many even - but it was not what you suggest.

NOT every greek party will be like that. But saying theyre the exception is a large leap

And kddani there's no need to start with the dragging my glo or the next person's into it. I referred to KD obviously jokingly w/sarcasm after your post but I did not start suggesting any glo is singled out as running such parties. Pls stick to **the topic in a thread** it is called netiquette. And attacking any person who suggests greek life isnt wall to wall philanthropy and fuzzy bunnies is silly. have a good day.

Says who?
Offer up some proof to support your assertions rather than some blog of some random person

Re: shooting messenger
 

If you're going to make bold assertions, then offer some factual examples to back it up.

This has everything to do with the topic at hand, it goes to the credibility of your assertions.

I posted the link - pretty much on-topic albeit disliked by you - and expected discussion to follow. I did not write the blog. I do not know the author personally. You can comment on a blog to communicate with a blog author. 1st post was headline style.
Maybe you were insulated to the extent within your college years that you never personally knew people who attended such greek parties nor knew of any such parties going on. Fine. Please respect others' experiences. Only sorority ladies here have commented indignantly saying that doesn't happen at all but no fraternity men have. Open discussion is healthy. Have a good day. bye
