Something about yur post tells me you are just playing with us. It seems a little insincere. Chicks? Puh-leese!!!

ETA - Initiation isn't a three week long process. It's a day/night or two of ceremonies max.

Whats wrong with the chicks part? It's the feet part that's bizarre to me lol

Oh BTW, our initation lasted three weeks long...and pledging lasted the entire first semester.

Which organization takes 3 weeks to initiate?

Well when I de-pleged I took an oath not to tell the secrects of my fraternity...but think Eqularital __________ or Isometric ________. It's a non-GLO

Something about this thread, other than the house you've described, smells a little dirty.
However, if you are for real - why ask strangers if you did the right thing? You're a grown up now (almost), so you should be able to answer for yourself whether quitting an organization that is a detriment to your social life and academic life is the right thing. I'm glad you changed from "one with chicks" to " like some parties where I can meet some nice ladies...not in a creepy way but I expect there atleast to be SOME females at a party...". I'm almost convinced this is a real situation.

Well when I see the people from my old fraternity on campus they look at me like I'm worthless...and I feel like a total tool for quiting. Some of my old friends that were in the fraternity understand why I did what I did...and others haven't looked at me the same. I was just wondering what other greeks thought, and I'd perfer to keep things annoymous.

I guess it varies from campus to campus. I can say that my experience is that what you are saying is typically not the case. Apparently, our experiences vary though.

I don't want to get into a pissing match on this, but I really never felt like we had to compete socially with the service and professional organizations. As for professional organizations, my experience is that they have one business meeting per month, MAYBE a speaker...

I know what you're saying and
everything. I'm not saying they throw better
parties or anything like that, but Greeksupporter
wanted a fraternity with 'chicks'.
The only greek letter
orgs that I know are co-ed are those
organizations and a few locals.
In addition, it's really about the work one is
willing to put into the org.
If you don't want a house that smells like feet,
clean it up and light some incense.
If you want to meet girls (which is what I
think Greeksupporter was after),
go talk to them and invite them over
for cookies or something.
Have a few of them help with homework,
then you can kill two birds with one stone.

And even though you
already depledged, my
advice could suit you
throughout the rest of your
undergraduate experice. As far
as dirty looks and hard feelings,
they will subside eventually, but
people are rather adverse to those
that quit mid-season.

So you're an ex-Triangle.

There's nothing wrong with that. It's funny though, my experience with the Triangles at Oklahoma U (I didn't go to OU, but spent a great deal of time socializing there) is that they pretty much always had the best grades on campus. When grade reports came out, the top house would be the "top house besides triangle" when it came to grades.

I agree everyone I know is similar, probably the hardest working guys I've met and always with phenomenal grades.

Not the chapter I was in, their GPA always sucked and they seemed to like to drink more than study...and it's not chicks I was after too. I just don't like most of my parties to be male and yes I tried febreeze but it was like shooting a frieght train with a BB Gun...useless, and it was hard to get women to come over because we were considered to be 'nerds' or 'loosers' and it seemed to be that most of the guys there cared more about pornography rather than meeting real women. And I didn't quit mid season, because it was too hard. I quit because my grades are more important than my socail life or the fraternity I was in, I'm trying to get into Law School. I want to do Intelectual Property law, I can't let a whole semester be thrown away due to initation.

Well no wonder you had issues cause something isn't right. From the Triangle Fraternity web site.

"Triangle limits its membership to students majoring in engineering, architecture, and the sciences."

To be an IP lawyer, you need to have a background in science. I don't even think you can sit for the IP bar unless you've taken a certain amount of science classes.

Plus, many people do something completely different for their Pre-Law BS or BA. There was a girl who was Pre-Law who was getting a BA in Music Non-comp. He could very well be a Science major for his BS.

Exactly, we're not all history majors.
Well, I was, but I was also a journalism major.

Never mind, I'm not backing up my point at all.

Basically, what you just said is correct. One of the best trial lawyers in Boston got his bachelors in fine art, and is an accomplished painter.
