I doubt that. You never give up a chance to try to show us how "superior" you think you are. Which, by the way, is not working. The thing is that you're so off-the-charts shallow that it's comical (and not just a bit sad.) Haven't you noticed that practically no one takes you seriously? Normal people don't make the superficial judgments that you do.
You
really want to know what's important to sorority girls when determining how "good" a fraternity is? Obviously I can't speak for all sorority women but most
might agree with the following:
#1 - Are the members of the fraternity gentlemen? True gentlemen who treat women with respect. (that would exclude you and your making fun of unattractive women at Rush parties)
#2 - Are the guys fun to be around? Can they carry on good conversations and not just be drunken idiots?
#3 - Do they take pride in themselves? Yes, being good-looking is an advantage. We all judge people on looks to some degree. It's human nature. But more importantly, do they do their best to present a positive image of themselves
with what they have? Personally, I don't care if a man buys his ties at Brooks Brothers or can only afford K-Mart.
#4 - Are they a close-knit brotherhood? Do they genuinely care about eachother or are they merely in the same fraternity because of some perceived notion of "class" and where they belong in the social strata?
#5 - Do they make good grades? Are they taking college seriously and trying to educate themselves as opposed to either being slackers or relying on their superficial connections to get them jobs?
#6 - Are they nice guys? People who make others feel welcomed rather than feeling judged. Strangely, some people are attracted to arrogance. Personally, I can't think of anything uglier than smugness and an air of superiority.
#7 - Do they have class? (And this is where I'll lose you since I honestly don't think you fully understand the meaning of the word.) Class means valuing character over wealth. Class means behavior that's beyond reproach. It means treating everyone, no matter their income, looks, background, race, color or creed, with the respect due all human beings. It does not mean that they have to be friends with all of them or have all of them in their fraternity. It just means having dignity and treating others with dignity too. (Please notice that money is not mentioned in this definition of class. Money does NOT equal class!)
That, to me, is what makes a fraternity good. That's what I look for in both men and women, in sororities and fraternities and out in the working world.
I think what irritates me most about you, Fratty, is that all of those qualities could be found in my favorite fraternity back in the day,
Fiji. They were "my guys" and they were the best of men. My boyfriend from back then is a Fiji and I was proud to wear his lavalier.
It saddens me that you are their brother.
