Boy, oh boy, oh boy!!! my son-as many know, will be headed to LSU. He is a legacy, but he certainly has a mind of his own. We-Dad and I- want to see him participate in Greek life, and we have a YEAR to work on him. (It really takes a long time to exert parental influence on the little bugger) As one might expect, he is influenced by his friends...if they say "rush is dumb", it could prove a tad difficult to get him to participate. I just give him snippets from GC from time to time, most recetly being the "Give a Greek A Hug" article written as my son has "High Expectations".
James gave me some advice a while back. Hubby had friends that went to LSU and some of this sounds familiar. He heard about one fraternity and thought it sounded like something he would be interested in. This was the one that cut all the guys from our town. The fraternities my daughter likes would most likely not interest him at this point in his life. Angels and Arrows What a kind thing to say BUT---They are pretty much opposites-she likes the real down to earth, honest and sincere qualities of DG-he's more of a high intensity, dare I say materialistic -goal oriented individual. God love 'em both!
Soooo, I really appreciate what you all have taken the time to write. I HOPE YOU AND OTHERS WRITE MORE!
Betarulz! andbolingbaker thank you-anything else you can shed light on is greatly appreciated. My current question is- Does LSU need recs for the fraternities? I've had some offers out of the blue and am unsure how to respond. Then, there are those who I'd have to seek out if it is necessary. If it isn't the norm, I don't want to have him appear "odd"!
