Yeah... best to keep your affiliation with any internet message board on the DL. I have friends that I've met through Old Row but we don't tell people how we met lol.

Well, given GC's "popularity" (to put sarcastically) among Southern greeks, GC is the last board any rushee needs to name drop. If I heard some rushee mentioning here I'd figure them to be a spy from nationals.

Equally, mentioning FH or OR makes you look like you're trying too hard.

is it ok if i have already taken a bid this summer?

[2012]

such as...?

[nate2512]

what school you go to?
how big the school is?
how big greek life is?
prestige of the fraternity? tier of the fraternity?
how important greek life is at that school?

there are more but i wont get into those. don't answer any of the questions. its not for someone you dont know on a board like this to tell if you made the right choice or not.

[2012]

Sec... hence big (it's not vandy)... top 3 in terms of tiers. I just want to make sure it wasn't against any rules.

I'm not going to speak for them, but I know at Arkansas the bid cards don't mean jack. If you sign someone in the summer, the fraternity just rips them up after you sign 'em. They're not binding by any means.

so a bid isn't really a bid?

If you go to Arkansas, no.

I mean, to be fair, the fraternity likely wants you with them (if you don't fuck up) and will give you a bid come bid day. It's more of a psychological thing. But receiving a bid early isn't binding for you, at all. You'll sign a real bid card on bid day.

This is all if you go to Arkansas though.

On my campus you could get a bid and sign it as early as you want in the Summer. It is meaningless until Bid Due day when the fraternity actually turns in the paperwork (bid) information to the Greek Life offices.

[magichat]

ohh, that makes much more sense that way. We do the same thing and give early bids verbally.

I have a good friend whos a UF Kappa Sig. He's very religious, which is what I hear about y'all so it's probably a great fit.

I wouldn't necessarily say religious, but almost every single brother had a strong protestant upbringing. The recolonization was made by mostly guys involved with Campus Crusade, so that stereotype isn't too far off the mark. Or wasn't.
And if I know who you're talking about, I think you'll be really surprised the next time you run into him. He's at the bars wasted more often than anyone I know.
