Athletics in Greek Life

[noobishactz]

I was wondering if this as happened at any school before?

At University of Hawaii at Manoa some coaches from different sports have taken a stance upon there players joining any greek organization. We have has a couple of athletes attempt to pledge yet the coach would stop it.

I am not too sure either if any of our brothers are allowed to join any of these sports because they are already initiated with us. None of us have tried but I know one of my brothers wants to try out next year. I find this kind of funny because one of the coaches is an Alumni of our fraternity from a different chapter.

Even though Coach Wallace is a Kappa Sigma he probably won't change his stance. Has he even bothered to get involved now that you guys are on campus?

We had members of the track, cross-country, and sailing teams in my chapter before. The coaches had no problem with it, but then again their practice schedules and away time were more flexible than that of, say, volleyball, basketball, and softball.

I can understand why a coach would prohibit his/her players from becoming Greek, especially if the athlete is on scholarship. The athlete is committeed to school first, then athletics. Joining an extra-curricular could compromise that.

True.
I was not going to say the coaches name.
But yes everything you stated is true yet I dont see why the coaches can not work with us rather than downing us. I mean yes if the initial obligation due to things such as scholarships and everything is to the sports than I think we can make acceptions for it.

Many Coaches don't want their Jocks to be taken away from The Team Mentality. Concentrate on the team so to speak.

Funny our last President played football and was a Acadamien All American with a 4.0.

He learned more from being a member of a glo than playing football.

All many of these neanderthal coaches have to do is go to web sites and see how many key players were members of glos.

Ummmm....are you talking about Clinton? Clinton was in a co-ed social fraternity and played intramural rugby at Oxford. Where did you get that he was an AllAmerican football player? He went to Georgetown and Oxford???

My daughter competes at the intercollegiate level. Her sport's college team has 100% Greek membership for the sophomores through seniors. The freshmen have to wait for deferred recruitment so we'll see if the tradition continues. What's nice about many of the women's teams at her school is that the team members tend to pledge as individuals thus resulting in membership in all the groups. The boys at her school seem to have more of a mob mentality about the process as certain fraternities are known to be the baseball, the lacrosse, et al groups.

Maybe there is a lot of things you do not get.

This a Greek Site, not a President site.
