Is 22 TOO OLD to RUSH an old south SEC frat?

Anyone else have an opinion, besides haters?

Yes, as someone who went to a "southern" university (btw, Ole Miss) I think you're an idiot. Btw please note my proper use of you're and not your.

What the he** do you mean by, "We don't skip around the field with sugar in our cleats." Are you making gay jokes? Any good Southerner would know it was tacky and crass to make those kinds of comments. I'm starting to think you aren't looking for "southern" but "redneck."

"Where we drive trucks, and go sail fishing, not sail boating, though some might have a sail boat." Growing up in MS I thought I knew slang but I can't for the life of me make out that sentence. What is "sail fishing?" Btw, I would see a lot of SUV's and BMW's on fraternity row, but very few trucks. You might need to look at places like MS State for that.

Personally, no fraternity is dumb enough to pledge someone like you and I doubt you are anything more then a troll. Good luck with life in your parent's basement.

You're really classy because you used the word "crass." And true, using your instead of you're was an honest mistake. Technically its called "sport fishing," I was just making a comparison. Its where you fish for bill fish i.e. marlins, sailfish, swordfish etc. If you didn't know what it was you should have googled it before making another "hating" comment. Have you ever seen the back of a Guy Harvey shirt? A lot of the time you're looking at a sailfish. And the "sugar in your cleats" comment is a reference to the toughness of competition in SEC football. You took it way out of context, Idk where you got the gay reference from. Anyone else have an opinion on my original question, besides these haters?

People who know the answer have already told you but it's not an answer you wanted to hear.

I am an SEC alum and can assure you that a 22 year old would not be persued by the kinds of chapters you're dreaming about. Quit crying about it.

[TSteven]

Disclaimer: I am a SEC alumnus, just not a “SEC football dominated school” SEC alumnus.

The only times I have heard of an "older" fraternity pledge at an SEC college - regardless if the chapter is a "traditional southern fraternity" or whatever so-called “tier” it might be in - is if the pledge already knew members in the chapter *and* had a legitimate (good) reason for taking time off between high school and enrolling in college *and* a good reason for then waiting until their sophomore year to pledge.

Basically, a brother in that chapter will need to “strongly” vouch for you personally. But again, the chapter will most likely question not only why you took time off, but why you didn’t rush as a 21 year old freshman. If they don’t “buy it” (like your reason), you will most likely be SOL.

Best of luck.

You know, a lot of qualified people have already told you that it's not going to happen, but I bet you're different from all the others. Old row fraternities love guys who call their GLOs "frats" and try really hard to prove how fratty they are. As an older student, i bet you'd quickly serve as a mentor to some of the younger active brothers and not have go go through too much with pledging. Good luck!

thanks TSteven. You gave the least opinionated answer. I started school last semester and missed spring rush because of a funeral. This summer will be my second semester, this fall i will be a sophomore. I was asking to see what the southern fraternity community thought about my age before brought it up to my frat friends. I know at the school I'm at we do call them frats.., well maybe not the kids.. excuse me., MEN, that take it way too serious. ROLL TIGERS! WAR TIDE!

No boys use the term "frat." It's fraternity. You probably have some serious growing up to do. As many guys I know who are actual fraternity members say about the use of the word frat for fraternity, "You wouldn't call your country a cu**." You've gotten a lot of answers here, so I'm pretty sure you are just trolling. As others have pointed out if you know so many people in said fraternities, why are you not asking them this question?

FYP just in case.

Tell them that this phrase is stupid and outdated.

Simply not true. On some campuses and/or in some groups, the word "frat" is quite acceptable and common.

Whether the OP is at one of those campuses is a whole 'nother story.

Arrrrgh! Not that stupid, stupid analogy again?

Just so lame on so many levels.

And it's not even a valid analogy. The word frat is pronounced frat, but the word fraternity is pronounced like fruh-tur-ni-tee. It's not pronounced frat-ur-ni-tee.

So a more accurate analogy would be "You wouldn't call your country a count" which wouldn't be an offensive thing to call your country, just a stupid thing.

[AlphaFrog]

Eh, let's just say it's a stupid analogy and move on.

Now, back to prepping for my move to NYC, where I will undoubtedly be hailing taximeter cabriolets. I'd just say "taxi", but abbreviated words are evil.
