greek/party life?????
 

I'll be completely honest i partied my fuckin brain out in high school and somehow managed to come out with a 3.2 gpa so im going off to Arizona state University in a couple weeks.

My question is how is the party life in fraternities? I mean i want to drink as much beer and smoke as much pot as i possibly can in four years, cuz after that its time to grow up and be responsible, im just worried that greek life won't be as crazy as i want it to be. I mean i know ill make close friends no matter what, but the best memories with friends are always the f***ed up times. and i would want to join a fraternity that values parties and beer and pot as much as i do.

Any input on the greek party life would help??

Be thankful you aren't rushing in the SEC or down here.........because you would get balled from every house imagineable. If you think drinking beer and smoking a little pot is some wild and crazy thing.........you have alot to learn about partying my friend. Not to mention that you obviously have absolutely no clue about fraternities.

so help me out a little here i know what im talkin about isnt insane, im just trying to get a feel for what the scene is like. What do you mean i have no clue about fraternities? enlighten me a little bit. And dont get me wrong thats not everything i look forward to its just what was on my mind at the time i posted cuz i was readin a bunch of stuff that led me to believe the greek system was turning away from those sorts of things.

I gotta keep an eye on this thread, things will get interesting. :D

3.2 high school GPA isn't much to brag about. College life is a lot different and it is NOT going to be that easy to skate by.

Lol at "the best memories with friends are always the f***ed up times". If you're f'ed up, how do you remember them?

I don't know how much you're going to find a fraternity that "values" pot. Being that smoking pot is illegal in this country (save the legalization arguments for another thread), no fraternity with half a brain is going to openly admit this. And no matter how hard partying the fraternity is, there's other things that go along with it that do not involve partying.

If this post is truly your thoughts on life and college, my crystal ball predicts that you will fail out of school pretty quickly.

I got ten bucks says there will be no sophmore year for you. Say it with me, "Welcome to McDonalds, may I take your order?"

Because he's got the tolerance of a high school kid. "Dude, I totally almost finished a six-pack by myself last night. I was so wasted."

Paging Mr. Troll...Mr. Troll, please.

(Can anyone really be that shallow? Never mind, the answer is obvious.)

Parents, do you know where your children are? :rolleyes: :(

Assuming you're just an over the top message board thespian stirring things up (but I'll humor you anyway)...here's the tough truth about "you" and where your "perspective" will take you:

You'll never make it. College will eat you alive.

But you do have the choice to pull your head out of wherever you stuck it and change. My advice to "you"...if you want even a fighting chance at being successful forget about everything you currently think about college and Greek Life and start over.

Otherwise I'll take a hot apple pie with my Big Mac please...

I....smell....perp.... :cool:

Can you perp being a PNM?

Don't join a fraternity for that. In fact, avoid Arizona State. Enroll at Colorado State (They have a rolling enrollment option) or a Northern school and join their Ski/Snowboarding club. You'll probably find a bunch of friends who have your same interests. Or, the first day at Arizona State, light one up in your dorm room, with the door open. You'll find what you're looking for.

I suggest you skip the parties for a while and focus on the use of commas, apostrophes, capitalization and other elementary aspects of coherent writing and sentence structure. Colleges can be kind of pricklish about that sort of thing -- they have this crazy idea that one should have learned how to write a proper sentence by sixth grade.

And thanks for offering, but I'll pass on super-sizing.

There's a reason I like Sinfonians so much.:D

Mike, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt here. The fact is that if a fraternity held beer, partying, and smoking pot above all else, they would certainly fail. Our national organizations have extremely high expectations, being in a fraternity is sometimes a lot of work (and a hell of a lot of fun). If you're not able to put in the time/effort required to keep your house afloat, it simply won't. The organization might struggle for a few years, and just exist, but eventually, they'll fail. They'll either die because no one wanted to work on Rush (which is a hell of a lot of work at a place like ASU, and very competitive), or they will be closed by their national HQ.

I'm not familiar with the ASU campus in the least, but what I've said is universally true in the fraternity world. Go through rush, but remember that how you do in college is going to determine how well you do for the rest of your life. If you flunk out in 2 semesters, you'll regret it forever.

That's not to say that you'll not be able to find a group that can have a good time, I just don't like seeing kids flunk out because they overemphasize partying to the extent that they forget why they're in college in the first place.
