UCF student needing some advice

Hell, even the brothers I know say that is one of their main selling points. But those are only the one's being honest and straight.

Clearly you would rather have a bunch of fake, misleading people involved, but I was hoping for some straight and USEFUL help. Apparently I was incredibly wrong. I would be ashamed if I ever treated a guest like that (on the internet or in real life).

So once again, if you cannot give me a legitimate answer,
PLEASE REFRAIN FROM POSTING IN THIS THREAD!

Thank you very much.

Honest =/= Mature

Example: My 6 year old can honestly say that she wants a Hershey's bar for breakfast, but that's not a mature idea. Honest, but not mature.

Also, I hate to tell ya, but you don't get to control who responds to what thread. Even if you do use a smilie face.

I agree, however this is the reality at UCF. And I figured since this is the internet, I could get some honesty. All I've gotten so far is a bunch of rude responses (excluding BEMORE and LaneSig). The brothers in the social frats I mentioned make a HUGE deal about the girls they eff and everything I said. But so I wouldn't make an a** out of myself in person, I figured I would apparently make an a** out of myself on line.

Since you continue to respond, why not actually give me a little help?

The faster I get some help, the faster I can make my decision, and the faster I can go back to my troll cave which is obviously the only place I could've come from.

Is the business fraternity a good idea? From a business (future jobs, internships, etc.) standpoint, is a social or professional fraternity better?

You are going to make connections in either group. It will be up to you to add to the group you choose in order to make the friendships where people will want to help you out.

I know that Sigma Chi has helped me out on several occassions. My first 2 jobs out of college were through my fraternity connections. Even years later, I have had people notice my ring and say, "Oh, Sigma Chi". I've had friends in other fraternities where this has happened to them.

Can you be in Alpha Kappa Psi and a social fraternity at the same time (I honestly don't know)? Why not rush a social group first and then AKPsi 2nd (if allowed)?

Thanks again for the response!

Yes, at UCF you can be in a social and professional fraternity. However, I don't actually know anyone who has done it, mainly because of the large amount of work and time a pledge or brother has to invest.

If they have regular workshops on etiquette, politeness and how to conduct yourself as a mature adult, then I would say the business fraternity is a STUPENDOUS idea.

There were many ways to ask the things you wanted to know without being so crude. The sooner you learn them, the better, because I hate to break it to you - you might end up with a woman as your boss sometime and she won't put up with your adolescent misogyny.

If the Sigma Chis (or any fraternity) at UCF have seen this thread, even if they HAVE offered you a bid, I wouldn't be surprised if it was recinded - especially since you've basically said the only reasons you want to join are to help you in your career and to get laid. Whether or not that is their day to day M.O. matters little - the last thing any fraternity wants is someone who blatantly says "this is all it's about."

I don't exactly agree with this. He said he wants to find answers to questions that he wouldn't ask in public. If he's asking these questions here, then that means he is polite and uses proper etiquette because he will not ask them in public. Its hard to say "I want to have sex with hottest babes" without offending someone. And if he's asking it here, then he understands his image in a public setting to a higher degree than you give him credit.

I feel as if there is a lot more to a fraternity for this guy than what he put out there. He gave us as much info about him and what he wants as was needed and thats fine. Fucking bitches is great, anyone can tell you that

See, this is why you see no problem with it, because you're as crude as he is.

There are ways to say it - "my guy friends in so and so fraternity are meeting awesome women" - without descending into gutter language. I'm not pretending to be shocked that guys talk like that - hell, girls talk like that occasionally - but a forum like this is not the place for it.

And this is far from being an "anonymous" forum.
