Silence820 · #1 09-23-2006, 01:24 PM

my sister and i are entering college in 07 (we r twins) and we would like a answer to this question before we go.

That's a subjective question with no absolute answer.

Every fraternity and sorority has chapters that are stronger or weaker than others, and every campus sees a similar trend among its GLOs. The better question would be: "which fraternity or sorority is the best for YOU and why?" To that end, the only possible answer is to examine the GLOs at the particular campus you'll be going to, and meet the people in each chapter. Then you'll be able to determine which one is best for you.

This will be the best answer that anyone can should give which is more true than you can ever suspect!

Brother and Tom;
Both hit it out of the park with your answers.

Well, I don't know if it's fair to say that Tom "hit it out of the park" when it was barely intelligible. Maybe he bunted for a solid single.

A very good answer, but I have to admit that I keep hearing this exchange:

Dean Vernon Wormer: Greg, what is the worst fraternity on this campus?
Greg Marmalard: Well that would be hard to say, sir. They're each outstanding in their own way.
Dean Vernon Wormer: Cut the horses**t, son. I've got their disciplinary files right here. Who dropped a whole truckload of fizzies into the swim meet? Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the alumni dinner? Every Halloween, the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring, the toilets explode.
Greg Marmalard: You're talking about Delta, sir.
Dean Vernon Wormer: Of course I'm talking about Delta, you TWERP!

First you might want to figure out if you want to join a fraternity OR a sorority...

(sorry, couldn't resist

You do not "join" a sorority. You are *INVITED* to join one. There is a big difference.

In any case, the GLO that is "best" is the one that is best for you. You should consider groups that have girls that are like you, not girls that you want to become like.

And for what's its worth, one chapter of ABC sorority at State U could be VERY DIFFERENT from their ABC sorority chapter at East Armpit State University. Go with your ears and eyes open and decide for yourself.

Well, to be fair, the 26 women's GLOs in the NPC go by both the name of FRATERNITY and SORORITY (i.e. Alpha Phi Fraternity, Delta Zeta Sorority). So, the originator of the thread is not incorrect in citing those terms.

You're gay.

Also, I think they need to learn how to start spelling before they decide that they need to go to college. And for godsakes it's not a frat.

BirdDog · #11 09-24-2006, 12:23 AM

If it isn't top tier it isn't worth joining.

And the proper use of articles.

The issue of the poster being grammatically-challenged aside, this is a fair question; but there's another aspect to it. Since on some level most GLO orgs do similar things--some better than others on different campuses with varying emphases--what does separate one grop from another. What is it's origins and legacy now? Are the founding principles and traditions in agreement with your values and worldview? As I get older the issue of my Fraternity's values being in concert with mine and actually something that I can follow as a Christian man is important to me. It's more than the "wine, women and song." For some it should mean that they should do some investigation about the history of the fraternity/sorority they may desire to pledge.

honeychile · #14 09-26-2006, 02:40 PM

Wolfman, I agree with your thoughts.

I like the sorority with the pretty colors.

Couldn't agree more. Excellent point!
