I want to join a fraternity! - Page 2

My dad is alive and well. It never occurred to me to say "is," but it makes sense in retrospect.

Guys, thanks for your help! I think the best course of action here would be to give a call to the chapter I'm thinking about joining, and see if they accept grads.

It's a very tough situation. The university here is really very ideal for me. Academically and cost-wise, it's a dream, so unfortunately it doesn't make much sense to transfer because there are no Greek houses.

Thanks again!

To clarify my assumption for all of you, it beat the alternative of assuming he meant his father resigned his membership - which is the other "was." However, since he didn't know he was already a legacy (that happened when he was born), I should have known he was not conversant with the proper language. I tend to take things literally when people make statements.

And I think this is your answer, especially given that even if the chapter in which you're interested is able and willing to offer a bid to grad students generally, there's no guarantee they'd offer a bid to you.

Huh? Assuming his father is dead "beats" assuming his father resigned membership? (Which, as long as you're assuming, would mean he's not a legacy because his father isn't a member.)

Sometimes it's just better to keep your assumptions to yourself.

Just take the charge and keep it moving.

Especially because he (albeit) later clarified that the college he's at currently is ideal in every other way.

Actually, it's just you look like more of a jerk when compared with sugary sweet online personalities, like mine.

Cause the cameras I had installed are HD, of course. Turn your head a bit to the left... now smile

GC is definitely the place to be when you're low on sleep and want a quick fuss. I'm actually a lot nicer when I'm low on sleep because I think "WWJD" before I talk and type. That's obviously relatively rare....

LOL. My clients figured out not to mess with me Wednesday, but I didn't post here then either since I know I went home and slept about 11 hours. Despite my evil ways, GC had about 36 hours without my corrupting presence. Or something.

I maintain if other people didn't post stupid shit, I wouldn't respond. I could be the better person, but we all know I'm not.
