If I was kicked out of a pledge class, can I rush other fraternities?

So long story short, last weekend during pre-game for a football game at my school, I had a little bit too much to drink, threw up a couple times, and broke a toilet. Because of this my bid was withdrawn, and i am no longer part of the pledge class. My question is, can I rush other fraternities in the Winter/Spring, or I am pretty much screwed.

If you weren't initiated then you are allowed to pledge at another fraternity. That being said, depending on the size of the Greek community, you might be screwed anyway.

It may depend on how you broke the toilet. Is it just a plumbing issue or did you break the porcelain?

Psi U: It's a pretty big school with a huge greek community, plus the fraternity I was pledging at was pretty small and relatively new on campus.
Senusret: I broke the tank cover, which was porcelain, but everything else on the toilet I think works fine, and I did pay them back for it.

I'm really sorry, but this is a major LOLWTFBBQ moment for me.

So you acted like a freshman, got hammered, barfed a few times, and tore up something (which you paid back). Jeez, if doing that warranted depledging, my pledge class would have been a person of 1 instead of 30. (LOL)

No kidding. They just booted you? There was no conversation with your big bro or the pledgemaster or anything?

RM issue if he's underage.

All jokes aside, if this is a new fraternity on campus they may feel that they can't get away with this type of stuff.

No kidding. Yeah, breaking the toilet is over the top but a freshman having a bad night isn't exactly breaking news.

OP, you are allowed to re-rush, just keep your nose clean from now on. You've learned your limit, so don't go past it again. Hopefully other fraternities will then assume it was a freshman mistake, and you've learned your lesson.

You might get lucky. However keep in mind if the story spreads, you might have no real chance. I hope you take this as a life lesson to better control yourself while drinking.

Maybe he broke the toilet while hooking up with the pledgemaster's gf in the bathroom?

browns321 · #15 10-12-2010, 04:13 PM

Well, we hadn't exactly gotten to the big brother part of pledging yet, but the kid who I'm pretty sure was going to be my big-bro said, and several others who were there (while I was still drunk, so I don't remember the details) said something to the affect of everyone deserves a second chance, and then proceeded to tell me stuff pledges and brothers had done in the past, including breaking doors, punching holes in walls, and lighting up a joint in the middle of a night club, so idk. But other than that, I had no real conversation with anyone, other than a phone call the next day telling me my bid was withdrawn. And what does RM mean?
