Nick you sound like a great young man with a good perspective on things, and I'm sure you'll be a credit to WVU and any fraternity who is lucky enough to have you (just don't tell them about your well-balanced views on college football right away. Wait until you're an alum and in graduate school-LOL). Good luck, have a good time and Go Mountaineers!

Thanks!

could be due to the fact that I am not going to be a TRUE freshman tho, I didnt go to school right after high school. Im doing at year at our community college here to bump up the GPA and test scored getting back into the swing of things. I'm 21 and see things differently than your 18 year old freshmen I guess. Call it those little "life lessons." Im very excited about where my life is going. (ranting, again. sorry)

An advisor is an alum who helps out with the running of the chapter so there is consistency over time. I don't know "creating." I guess you'll have to put it in context. When fraternities start up a new chapter on a campus, some call those new members "founders." Some call them colony members, or maybe that is just sororities. But it's the guys who go through a huge amount of work to establish a fraternity on campus and are thus given extra respect by subsequent members. Or it can mean the literal founders of the fraternity from 100 years ago or so.

By creating, I was talking about founding. Thanks for the help tho!

DubaiSis's explanation is perfect. I did my undergraduate at Wisconsin and am here for medical school. When I found we were chartering at WVU, I offered to help advise them through the process. So, mainly I stay out of the picture but make sure they are following rules, completing requirements, and I poke my head in during recruitment and Initiations. I'm also there for advice. It's a great way to be involved as an alumna.

I'm hoping this game against NORF goes better. I need both my teams to win!

That's awesome! Good luck with rush and the new members! This game was driving me crazy the first half! Glad we decided to play at least one half today. We better get it together before Maryland next week!

I love all this WVU football talk!

I really believe WVU fans are unlike any other in the country. I think part of it is because there are no professional teams in the state, so WVU and Marshall (ugh) are who you grow up watching. If you're from WV or went to WVU, you're a fan for life. I love that there's an active alumni chapter here in Charlotte and that I can still watch the games with my fellow Mountaineers. Its not the same as Morgantown but its as close as I'm going to get down here! In the words of Pat White, once a mountaineer, always a mountaineer!
