I've probably posted about this before, but it is getting worse...
I've got a friend who I've known for probably 5 years.. So we're pretty good friends...
Anyway, we're both going to Mizzou this fall. I'm going to live in a fraternity and he is going to live in a dorm.
At some point this year, for whatever reason, my friend has turned totally anti-greek. It is fine if he wants to do his own thing and live in a dorm, but his continuous greek bashing comments are really starting to piss me off now. I tell him to stop, but he doesn't take me seriously.
Whats strange about it is that when I was rushing, I invited him to one house that I was checking out... He partied with me and spent the night and even to this day he'll admit that it was one of the best times of his life. I think he really wanted to join this house (I'm not sure, he denies it now.)
He even wanted to look at other houses with me...
ANYWAY! I chose AKL after several rush events which he refused to attend.. He has never met ANY of the guys, just knows that they have a pretty good reputation on campus and since then (I have a feeling he felt a little intimidated).. All he does is make mean comments that even make me question our friendship... (which is also strange because greek life is HUGE at mizzou)
Just today he said...
"AKL is gay."
"Fraternities are gay, why would you want to live in a house with 90 other guys?"
"I don't need to pay to make friends."
"Have fun getting raped in your gay fraternity"
... And other things like that.. it happens way too often for me to ignore.. And as you can imagine, I'm getting pretty fed up..
Please help me out with ur opinions..
Why is he doing this?
Any ideas on how to get him to stop?
Is this worth ending a long friendship over or should I just continue to ignore it?
Have any of you ever experienced anything similar to this?
