Point being: could I get dropped/cut for, to be blunt, not partying enough? I fully intend to participate in all pledge activities and be a friendly/agreeable person when I am present at events, my circadian rhythms permitting.

I am a pre-med, so this is my last quarter where I'll have enough time to pledge (come spring i have to focus on extra-cirriculars). Thus, my sense of urgency.

-Thanks!

Seriously? You're talking about one or two weeks for rush, and then mixers maybe once or twice a month during the semester. You are an adult. Get a cup of coffee/mountain dew/red bull the next morning and suck it up.

At UCSB, fraternities generally have around 1 or 2 TGs (aka mixers) every week. But seriously, suck it up and drink a red bull, leave the party early, or don't go to every single one. We all party hard here, but we study hard too.

You DO need to make time to be an active member. Your active (key word here) involvement with the fraternity doesn't stop once you're initiated. You're saying more extracurriculars spring quarter? First see if you can balance school+a fraternity.

IFC recruitment at UCSB is pretty laidback (especially during winter--not all houses will participate), and most guys don't necessarily visit each house. It shouldn't be that big of a deal not to attend the event with the speeches. Keep in mind that every house may not be participating for winter, not even all of your 6 top choices. Check it out, but if you don't find your spot, usually all (or almost all) of the fraternities hold spring recruitment.

To the poster who thought the OP meant next fall, I think he means winter. UCSB is on a 3-quarter system and some of our fraternities do recruit all three quarters.
