A Fall 2011 Fraternity Rush Story

[Hermana]

My brother is rushing, so I have decided to write a story sharing his experience!

I'm a pretty regular GC poster, but I have created this account to help keep my brother as anonymous as possible. I'm sure some of you regulars may figure out who I am and I'm okay with that, but I'm hoping that if any actives from his school stumble upon this, they will have a tough time linking this account to my real account. Also, to help keep things anonymous, I am going to delay the story and post a few days after events have happened. Please be aware that rush goes on for a few weeks, so this thread will take some time to finish.

On with the story!

I am naming the code after different guitar brands, as my brother is an excellent guitar player. Here's the code for the chapters that are in the story so far:

Ibanez
Gibson
Hofner
Rickenbacker
Fender
Epiphone
Yamaha
Alvarez - added to the story on 8/21
Gretsch - added to the story on 8/21
Vox – added to the story on 9/1
Martin – added to the story on 9/1
Takamine – added to the story on 9/1


I'm sure there will be more chapters added, but at the time I am writing this, these are the chapters that have a role in the story. If I add anymore, I will edit this post and make a note of any new ones that I have added.

I'm just going to refer to my brother as “Joe”. Joe moved into school earlier this week. He goes to a state school with a large, thriving Greek community. It also just so happens to be my alma mater!

There are no Greek relatives in any of the generations before ours, so Joe does not have any legacy status. However, we have one cousin and LOTS of second cousins who went Greek—although most of them are women. My brother's exposure to Greek life was mainly from stories he has heard from myself, my fiancé (I'm glad there’s a lot of engaged GCers on here…or else this would be too easy!!) and one of our cousins.

More to come!
