UGA GLOs ban Abercrombie & Fitch

[shinerbock]

The actual article is about some douchebags who can't get into a real fraternity starting their own GDI brand of fraternity. The Abercrombie thing was one line in the story.

Well, they certainly didn't sound like any Zetes I've ever known, that's for sure.

Zeta Psi is certainly a real fraternity. Given the way these guys are starting out, I wonder if they'll ever get a charter.

I didn't pay attention to the name, either way, it will be a "counter-culture" fraternity at UGA it sounds like. I'm being pretty harsh on these kids because UGA's fraternity system is Atlanta-d up enough as it is.

Understood. Zete only has about 50 chapters, but was founded in 1847. It was the first fraternity to expand to the West Coast and the first to expand to Canada. And I think it is the only fraternity to have had chapters at all the Ivy League schools at the same time.

Not counting the Georgia colony, I think there are only 4 Zete chapters in the South. The chapter at UVa is 139 years old; the one at UNC is 149 years old. Both have always had very good reputations, so far as I know. I think the only other active chapters they have in the South are the one at Va Tech and Tulane, both chartered in the 1970s.

I've never heard of the fraternity, so i'm not passing judgment on the organization. I'm making my comments based on the reasoning for starting the chapter that the students proposed.

Understood, and I would tend to agree, based on the article. I was just providing a little background as to why I said these guys didn't sound like any Zetes I've ever known.

Wasn't Zete the gimps owner in Pulp Fiction.
