Bama Fraternities
 

I'm a senior in high school and have written about this sort of thing before but now i need specifics. I am very much like SECDomination in morals (quote below) but I will probably be attending the university of alabama in the fall. does anyone know of any fraternities there that dont get too crazy?

thanks man, sorry I really didn't word that question right. But if anyone goes to alabama and has an answer to my question feel free to send me a message

Alpha Tau Omega.
They're dry, they have the highest GPA, and now they're going green.

The daughter, a recent UA grad, claims they're all nerds. If so, good for them. I know several of their members and they are all fine young men from steady families.
BUT...you can still be a sober, upright member of most any other fraternity. Most of the crap you hear about fraternities is just that - crap.

Now if you were going to Florida, Fratty would be happy to give you answers. He is good with stereotyping.

yea thats definitely good advice - i mean im not really opposed to drinking responsibly but when people start getting hammered that annoys me. anyway, is there an AGR equivalent at bama? bc I know the one at UT is great

you could visit the greeklife website at bama and learn what fraternities have chapters on campus.

do be aware that chapters vary from campus to campus-the top chapter at state u will not necessarily be the top chapter at u. of state.

^^^That's pretty cool :)

Wrong school. It was PhiGam. You have a lot more discression,, except for your signature.

I can't say I know anything about Alabama fratnerities but I think it's really cool that you don't seem willing to compromise what your own beliefs/morals/etc are in order to join a group, so kudos to you & best of luck in your pursuit of Greek life :)

Rush in the fall. Meet all the Greek orgs. Tell them your beliefs and see what their reaction is.

Once you meet the brothers you will probably be able to tell which ones you would fit in best with. Be careful though. I'm not going to lie, people can be very fake during rush events.

That won't cut it at a lot of Southern schools. Most top houses will basically be done putting their pledge classes together by the time formal rush roles around.

That gives me the heeby geebies.

I don't know a whole lot about southern schools. I go to southern illinois (about 20 minutes from kentucky) but at times it feels like the deep south.

For example, when I went to a bar outside of town, I say a guy with a shirt that said "KKK - The original boys in the hood". I left pretty quickly when I saw that!

yea i did spring rush for SAE at South Carolina, i just got accepted and am now a pledge, i know especially at Bama a lot of people know eachother from highschool and the local area. So you might want to look for someone you know really well who went there before you and pledged.

I got friends who are Kappa Sig there at Bama and i know connections to older brothers known previously was key because they stuck up for you on voting.

So in other words if you know a lot of people in one i'd go fall, if you don't then try and get to know them in your classes and go spring. It doesn't hurt to try fall though, if all else fails you are right where you started.

Call the greek life office. Ask for the VP of Recruitment. He can give you all the phone numbers and emails of the rush chairs for every house. Call them up or email them and most of them will invite you to at least one rush event. DON'T wait until the fall to start looking. You will end up in a university house...you'll know what I mean when you get here. ATO sounds like a good option for you, but there are tons of guys in most of the houses that sound like you. They just don't get the attention because they don't fit the stereotype the CW likes to portray of everyone.
