I want to start a sorority @ a greek dry school!

[Alanna]

We actually do have two co-ed fraternities, Alpha Phi Omega (a service fraternity), and Alpha Kappa Psi (a business fraternity), both are strictly watched and neither have houses, they are supremely limited, especially the service frat. I do realize that it will be alot of work! trust me! I'm a Freshman right now, and don't plan on being able to establish a house till Jr. year. Apparently we used to have more greek life on campus, but due to some partying instances in the 80's all houses were taken away (only the two frats in existence have survived that debaucle), and people have tried to re-establish the greek system, but the Administration is strictly against allowing any new frats or sororities (even though students try every year).

Alanna- The reason Alpha Phi Omega does not have a house on your campus is because it is against the national bylaws for members to maintain a fraternity house.

And can you please stop calling my fraternity a "frat"? I really take offense to it. You wouldn't call your country a c^nt, so please do not call fraternities frats.

Before you decide to start your own sorority, why don't you check out APO? I honestly found more love and brotherhood than I could have ever imagined.

Oh good grief. Is there really no way that we can get people to stop making this stupid comparison of apples to kumquats?

I get that lots of people are offended by the word "frat" because of its "Animal House" connotation (newsflash: there are also plenty of fraternity members who are not offended by it), but surely you don't mean to suggest that "frat" is an obscenity.

This comparison = fail.

Don't do it, Brother. On my campus, APO is called "the service frat" as well and no one is offended by it. On many other campuses, "frat" is used as a term of endearment between brothers. This is a case where you can ignore the reference if it bothers you because it is not an issue on the original poster's campus.

The next person to use that frat/c*nt reference deserves to be shot.
