Well what do you know, there is someone nice from our rival school. It's fine. you're more than welcome to comment about our Greek Housing and fraternity life. Afterall, that is what the guy who posted this thread was inquiring about.
Best of luck to y'all this season. You're gonna need it, especially with our hockey and football teams!!

Hey, I grew up a State fan, so I know how tough it can be sometimes...what's that facebook group regarding UNC's rivals, again? (Kidding!) I'm looking forward to football season, too--the only team we've been reliably able to beat since I got to Chapel Hill in 2004 has been State, even though they've probably been better than us every year. It makes for an interesting game day, that's for sure. I think they'll beat us this year, but I've learned not to expect much from Carolina football!

But then, the only sport that really matters is still months away

DMBabyZTA · #18 07-26-2008, 01:46 PM

oh geez another convert... well see how many bandwagon fans yall can get this year. Wait what's the present tense for Carolina blue ---> Carolina blows! haha sorry, I just had to!

The real sport that matters?? Well maybe in your eyes. Whereas for me, I'm a football and hockey kinda girl. My boyfriend plays for ECU too! hmm can we say triple rival

I think it's hilarious the looks people give us when he has on an East Carolina hat and I have on a N.C. State shirt!! And I have found something quite ironic... ECU considers us their rival, we consider UNC our's, and UNC considers Duke their's.

What's wrong with this picture??

carolina blue · #19 07-26-2008, 02:01 PM

The fact that, out of all of those pairs, Duke is the only one to return the feelings of a rivalry?

I have a lot of high school friends who ended up at State, and lots of them were Greek, although they've pretty much all graduated by now. I loved to crash their tailgates, and we had a lot of fun over the past few years with the back and forth!

And OP, I promise to stop hijacking your thread now. Good luck this fall!

This is what Sigma Nu plans on putting on their lot. Kind of odd naming it after someone (you don't see that often, only other time I've seen it is Georgia Tech KA). But I guess if he put up most of the funds he can call it whatever he wants !

Are they going to re-do the sorority houses as well?

Yes!

Oooooh, they are! I have mixed feelings on that one-the DG house is special to me. One summer the alums and collegians went out and planted trees, flowers, and cemented the anchor out front-I threw in a shovel full!! We did a bunch of stuff to pretty up the house before school started.

On the other hand, it will be neat to see what the Eta Kappa girls get!! I wonder if WhiteDaisy has any info on this one??

WhiteDaisy128 · #24 08-03-2008, 12:42 PM

Yeah, the new Greek Project is exciting. The only info I have on it is DG related. I know Eta Kappa briefly considered buying the AGR house (next to the ZTA house)...but there were too many "problems" with that idea (what that means, I don't really know. I just know executive offices wouldn't approve it). I *think* we will be on board to sign a land lease with the university for the new Greek court...but not in the first phase (obviously). It's hard to raise money with only 6 years worth of alumnae. But it will happen...I mean, there isn't much of an option. I can't wait to see it all come to fruition!

To the original poster, good luck...there are a lot of strong fraternities at NCSU. The Greek system is on the rise for sure!

Is Kappa Delta coming this year or next?

Jimmy Choo · #25 08-03-2008, 01:01 PM

With Tri Delta getting pushed back a year I *think* that means KD will be in 2009 in PHC votes yes to expand again.

I know Tri Delta is in the later stages of the Greek Village as well. I was told we would break ground between 2014-2019.

The greek community here at NC State is pretty diverse, you will definitely find a group you like with ease.

I cant really give my opinion on the the fraternities here without being biased, but be sure to stop by the Lodge (Chi Psi). I can say without a doubt in my mind that we have the strongest brotherhood on campus.

Three in a row Greek Week Champions!

ncsupack1 · #27 08-16-2008, 08:21 PM

Thanks I appreciate it, I wasnt really trying to start something between UNC and State but I'm glad everythings cool. Yea I'm excited for rush but it seems like its going to be hard to visit and spend time with the ones I'm interested since a lot of their events conflict with times.

I have news for you fella...every single fraternity will make the same claim. You need to have a better sell than brotherhood.

To the original poster, look for the golf course and you'll find your answer.

As a fellow lodger, I will reiterate that we won greek week for the past 3 years in a row. We won the caldwell cup in 06 and the founders trophy before that for being the most improved of any chi psi in the country. Earlier this august we received multiple awards at our national convention for excellence in finances, service, and publications. And these awards are not given out easily. We were founded way back in 1841 and although every fraternity has interesting traditions, I think our history is very distinctive and is a source for pride. We also work hard to set ourselves apart in terms of philanthropic efforts by getting involved with tons of events on campus and we have established the Pink Tie Benefit Ball, now held annually for Susan G Komen. I think we have a lot going for us and we are definitely improving and growing with time. And as for the closeness of our brotherhood-i really do think we have a very close and special group. I am not trying to say that the lodge is necessarily better than any other group bc I know that a lot of the organizations at State are very strong. It really depends on the individual finding the right place for them. I will say that for me at least-I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
