Title: Frat Boys is a turnoff for those who loved it all
Blackball usage: cowardly, obsolete, should be gone.
positive: beautiful house, well kept, shows extreme pride
pledge duties not demeaning, positive
dress of members, language, decorum
Kinda brings back what we think Greeks should be. And while the laws have changed, and times are different, there is still a lot
of room for the drinking scholar.
To classy Phi Delta Theta (and good almost everywhere), Sigma
Nu, et al. ya did good
Alums... wimpy Clinton not a Greek,
Uh. Clinton IS Greek. He pledged the Georgetown chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, National Service Fraternity. For better or worse, he's our most well known alumni.

Comments on your other comments:

Surprised by the blackball usage for bidding. Was told in a private email that this is not allowed in that fraternity. Mine forbids it, and I would think others as well.
Found some of the pledge duties demeaning/non positive. Mine forbids any personal service by pledges toward actives. They showed a lot of this, especially in the last weeks of their pledgeship.
