PLEASE HELP! I am SO CONFUSED with GREEK life.

A) ill have a life long brotherhood. This was true in my experience.
B) "i can just grab a couple girls at the end of a party and take them to my room" (which i honestly i felt offended even tho i am a guy). If you got those kinds of skills then hats off to you.
C) plenty of partying. I guess it depends on the house. Old Row vs. New? Sign with the house that you feel comfortable at.

Excellent banditone!

First off, buying friends to be a member of a Fraternity is a HOT button to me.

"IF" I paid for my friendship of my Brothers, it must have been well worth it as I still have life long friends and have been doing this for 42 years.

Getting more girls, that is actually to, to funny, but sad at the same time. There is a lot more going on in a Fraternity than just partying, like doing charity events, being memebers involved in the campus or being sports.

Old Row or New Row? It is not the building or location that makes a Reaternal Brother hood, but the members. That is the key, the Brothers.

As banditone said, find the best place that you feel comfortable with. That is where the life long friendships come from.

Good luck no matter which you choose or they choose you.

ROTFLOL!

Seriously, this is hilarious. I really don't think that you want to go with every girl at Alabama... you would definately catch something eventually...

I really dont think that any girl would go with a spaz just because he is a member of XYZ fraternity. In your case, be careful and get tested regularly....Go with the house you feel is more like you because you are in it for the long haul; not the case for the girls....

wreckingcrew used to have a line in his signature about his fraternity offering the best dollars to friends ratio on campus... great line.

At any rate, you're not buying you're friends, you're paying your part of a fraternal experience which you will value for the rest of your life. I'd personally be pretty turned off by whoever said you could just "grab two girls" at the end of whatever party. That's clearly just a rush line used for clueless freshmen. The entire line seems to indicate a lack of class to me.

-- but that's just me.

Your experience is what you make of it--if you don't feel comfortable with the people in a certain group, and find a lot of the members making offensive statements (like the grab a couple of girls one), then it probably isn't the one for you... However, you could take that as a challenge. A true leader is able to lead in the most difficult of circumstances, such as when you want to do something positive in the community, and everyone else just wants to party and meet girls. Are you a strong leader? You have to ask yourself this.
