thanks, I got it now guys =D

So now were on the topic of ranking and tiers...

Im pretty much joining to get job and intership hookups later on so I can get a bad ass job + have fun at the same time.

Is that the right idea? And would a Higher Tier frat give better job hookups for higher salaries?

and lastly, Delta Tau Delta, ATO, Kappa Sig at UT. How are these ones? Are there any on this list I should avoid? Are the people all stuck up arrogant D-Bags?

thanks!

You're not guaranteed a job based on your Greek affiliation. And unless you work for a chapter brother or something, your affiliation isn't going to get you a higher salary.

Please read some of the threads in this forum so you can get a better understanding of what Greek life entails.

I'm pretty sure that the best thing that will get you a good job/internships is your grades, since college is about academics, or at least it is the last time I checked.

I think your best bet for figuring out which guys are great--or, alternatively, which guys are not so great--is to just go out there and meet them.

No. And you might want to look around at some other threads before continuing to post on this matter. You are heading in the direction of offending some of the very members whose help you're asking for, if you haven't already.

First off, the problem with tiers is that they are specific to the school. Nobody is going to look at you when you graduate and think "Oh he joined a top tier chapter. Let's hire him." And honestly while networking is part of the Greek experience, it is secondary or even tertiary to the main purpose. And would you really want to be in a fraternity you do not fit in just because they are "top Tier" something that changes all the time anyway?

Okay, I stand corrected. Please go ahead and mock the OP.

You do not have the right idea at all.

And we don't do chapter reputations here at GC.

When were these ever "high-ranked"?

Jimmy, if you don't already know these guys or have the right connections, you're not going to get a bid. Since you don't even know the real reputations, you're definitely in that clueless unconnected camp. They will smell your desperate social climbing the second you walk out of your room in Dobie.

This.

I was completely baffled when he didn't even mention any of the better three.

OP: you might want to reevaluate on whether or not you really want to join a fraternity. Personally speaking, just by how you described how you view the Greek system, you've already managed to deeply offend me.

Sure, fraternities can help with connections and fun, but that's not what it's all about. You join a fraternity for a group of brothers who support each other at all times, and as a result of this, you get all the other benefits.

Oh damn- I should have read through all the replies before writing reams. LadyLonghorn said it all in 100 words or less.

Jimmy- going Greek at UT is not a job/internship opportunity. We can smell it a mile away...

There are a LOT of GLOs or groups with the same characteristics of traditional Greek groups. The latter outnumber the former.
Well now. I have learned the job of moderator doesn't have the pre-requisite of GLO maturity.


Sorry you just happen to be in my firing line from an incident that happened here last week and I'm trying to understand the method to the madness.
