It's something they don't think about when they're drunk and usually I'm too drunk to yell at them (meaningfully) when it happens, but when it comes to vote on pledges, it definitely gets repeated.

Banging an active's girlfriend. Seen it happen (no, not the actual event)- and he was gone at the next meeting.

SEC, this is biggest pledge mistakes at ANY institution. This would not be a mistake at every institution, although I know you think it is a mistake for political and fashionable reasons.

I really would like to know what was going through the pledge's mind when he decided to do this. "Oh yeah he's my brother, he won't care if I bang his girlfriend." Ok, they were probably drunk, but still. Idiot.

Maybe the active's girlfriend shouldn't be a classless whore.

I agree- but that was not for the fraternity to deal with. This is what sorority Standards Boards are for...

I aparently told my House's Lt. Master we weren't a real fraternity at the pre-orientation I went to (he was my counselor). I have no recollection of that (I probably meant it in jest?).

It didn't keep me out, obviously, but the Master and Lieutenant still hold it against me.

Hanging up on a brother

Being spotted at sorority houses or another fraternities house at parties while pledging

Of-age pledges can't go to the bar? Sorry, that's hazing.

I don't know about other campuses, but we don't pledge guys who are of-age... that would make them Juniors.

Not necessarily. A guy might begin college a year or two late as a Freshman. I know we have a guy on this board that is around 30 and an active member.

EW is correct in that chapters that pledge "traditional students" are unlikely to have a pledge that is 21.
