Wet or Dry Campus? - HAHAHAHAHA, supposedly "dry"
What type of housing arrangements does your system have (BE SPECIFIC - none, dorm floors, chapter houses close to/on campus owned by chapters, chapter houses far off campus owned by chapters, normal houses rented by chapters off campus, etc.)
None official. There are 2 "houses" that are rented out off campus.
Are there plans for construction of Greek housing soon?
Of course not.
Do those with chapter houses have sleeping dorms, open airs, cold airs, porches, etc.? NA
Parties thrown in the fraternity houses?
Every thursday night and weekend night.
Your city easy on underage drinking?
Yeah, they like to allow the "kids" off w/a warning and a drive home. But the school rats you out to your parents if you're caught underage.
Are bars in your city easy to drink underage in?
Yes, but only if you're paying and not obnoxious.
Type of Fraternity Rush (Open, structured, summer, other) Open I guess
When Sorority recruitment takes place for your system:
2nd week of classes Spring and Fall semester.
[b]Do Greeks run things at your school?[b]
They did in the 60-70's but now we're lucky to wear letters around.
Last Time Greek was Student Body President?
Currently holding office.
Last Time Greek was Homecoming King?
Last Time Greek was Homecoming Queen?
Greeks are the only participants in Homecoming.
Describe your typical Greek social Semester?(Are they called mixers/parties/exchanges, must they be registered, how many do you have a semester, any other "greek" sponsored social outlets, is having a party with another house a common thing or a rare thing, describe as much as possible) The term around here is "kegger" or a nicer name as a "party"
No registration is off campus. If an event is held on campus anyone and everyone can come, they just have to sign their name off on an enrollment list. As long as a fight doesn't break out GLO's have parties together to save on the keg cost.
Good relationship with the University Administration?
HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
Good relationship with Greek Affairs/Greek Life?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Is your director of Greek Affairs Greek? From your Campus?
Yes and yes. However, the head honcho over student affairs is a pain in the arse for our Greek advisor.
Average dues associated with being in a chapter? More or less than living in Residence Halls?
Nat'l: $150 a semester
Local: $40 a semester
Much less.
Hazing, common or uncommon?
It's very common but we don't call it "hazing", it's pledging
We don't abide by any rules that concide w/anything like what the NPC has. Heck, the school gives us "pledge packets" for our upcoming pledges
Describe the types of philanthropies chapters do?
MDA, Breast Cancer, Autism, Special Olympics, etc.
Any notable traditions for the Greek System?
None that I can mention here
