What happened to my thread about fraternities?

Thanks for that.

I get what you're saying. You really CAN'T have a thread about "General Advice for Fraternity Rush". There aren't many (if any) universal rules for IFC rush like there are for NPC rush. I noticed even on my own campus that there isn't even universal rules between groups (besides the few that IFC establishes....after that it's kind of anything goes).

Also, guys tend to be less likely to reach out for help on something like rush then girls are.

The only thing I can think of to tell any guy who's rushing is just to be yourself and find a group that fits who you are, instead of what you think you want to be.

I would disagree with that -- if you want to join a house because you think it'll make you a better person than you are, do that.

Go to a place where you feel comfortable, or else, go to a place where you can get the type of fraternal experience you're looking for. You're right about IFC rules though -- in most cases, even if they exist, they're completely ignored by almost everyone.

This is an interesting post.

NIC does it a little different maybe not so such in "The Ole South", but I do not know for sure.

But according to a source I trust, the rules of enagagment of Sororitys may be changing also becuse of the structure as such. A lot is depending on the schools them selves and the structure.


Young people today do not need to be run like cattle or sheep, they feel that they want to think on their own or so then seem to think.
They have to be sold on the idea of becoming a Greek and what it may do for them in today's economy and The future.

So, what benefits do they get out of being a Greek. Much more than they can realize.

I was thinking maybe I can rush at SFSU the next semester, not to join a fraternity, but to see how rushing works, so i will have more experience next year.

[Akkus]

Oh i have a new question now. Lets say I rushed at SFSU and joined a fraternity i like, and lets say i transferred to SDSU the next semester. Can i automatically transfer to the same fraternity at SDSU if it has a chapter there?

[Akkus]

Nevermind. I just checked names of every fraternity both schools have and i couldn't find any common names. Does that mean these two schools don't have any fraternities that are common?

[Drolefille]

If the same fraternity had a chapter, then almost certainly. There's probably a vote involved, but I doubt you'd get voted down. You'd still be an alumni of the first fraternity

If there aren't any common names then those schools don't have any fraternities in common.

Looking at the SFSU greek life page, almost all the fraternities are either MCGLOs, NPHC, or LGLOs. Those aren't the kind of fraternities that you seem to want to join, so I'd just say hold off until you get to SDSU. The only NIC I saw that SFSU had was Pi Kappa Phi, and according to the SDSU greek life site, there's no Pi Kap chapter there.
