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

[southernkid]

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Tell them that this phrase is stupid and outdated.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.

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.
