Should I rush again? - Page 4

It's been said before, but I think it bares repeating. Lets say you are really close with some of the brothers. Even so, a good friend does not necessarily a good Brother make. I have great friends who I love spending time with, that would not be a good fit for Psi U.

I never once said I was better then you. I love Psi U and am proud of it, but do not think it makes me better then anybody else. And just to let you know, I actually was a three time rush before I got my bid. So I know I'm not special.

Relax. I don't recall anyone saying they were better than you here. You're the only one saying that.

I'm a newly initiated member of a fraternity and would love to give my input on the situation. We had a similar issue at our house, a certain pledge was a great person and knew tons of people within but certain people in the fraternity had issues with him hoping he would change/adapt to fit better but by the 7th week and nothing has change he was dropped. so this may not be in your control and like everyone says you should move on and allow time to play its role.

This sounds like women who hope men will change after they get married. We all know how well that goes. HAHAHAHAHA

What was it that he didn't "adapt" to? Was he just sort of a hanger on, or didn't show up for things, or what?

My chapter has a rule regarding this - "No projects." If they're not good enough when you're bid-voting they're not going to change in 8 weeks.

gmIII, you're right, this does suck. But its going to keep sucking if you wallow in it. Get up, find another fraternity for you, and live your life. The situation is all what you make of it, and right now you're making it suck.

Yeah he just lingered around and got on everyone's nerves.

I guess based on how most of you talk then by dad is a loser for not being Greek even though he is a vp at a health care company? I guess my mom failed at life for quitting DG even though she was panhellenic council representative and vp of recruitment? Being in a fraternity doesn't make you well liked or make a lot of money as a job. It is to make new friends and do some good in life and all of you have ruined that feeling. I am sure you aren't bad people but your attitudes on here is jusst about how special you are because you became something and how anyone who isn't like you is a failure.

Yes, your parents are losers which is why you are pathetic and so paranoid over others' opinions of you.

FYI, some of us were always better than you and Greekdom just added to it.

WTF? When did we say any of this? If you project these same feelings that everybody in Greekdom is arrogant and thinks they are better then everybody else, that might explain why you were dropped.

Seriously, gmIII. Stop being so defensive and reading so much crap into what everyone is posting. You came here for advice, and you are getting some great advice. No one is saying they are better than you or that you have to be Greek to be a "winner" at life. We have all assumed that you "want" to be Greek and have advised you to look elsewhere for that experience because Phi Kappa Tau is not going to work out for you. Don't get pissed off because we didn't tell you what you wanted to hear...you invited it when you said, "Fire away guys!"

KSUViolet06 · #13 05-09-2010, 04:28 PM

^^^I'm done with you today.

phitim1905 · #14 05-10-2010, 01:16 AM

Sorry to say this put I think you sound very cocky you keep saying I did nothing wrong I did nothing wrong. As other people have said shi*t happens move on. Also if the place were you pledged really tried to punish your big bro by dismissing you that is very stupid/low of them, but I don't think that was what happened. My advice to you I would say is if you really want to be in a fraternity you should just join another place and as you said you are friends with them so be friends with them and join another place. Honestly I don't think you are trying to get in to make friends but to say that you are in "that particular frat."

PSUPhiTau · #15 05-28-2010, 01:05 PM

Look bro, if you wanna rush again, rush again.
No-one is going to stop you.

If the chapter you rushed is anything like the Phi Tau here, they wont restrict you from coming back to public events. You can also remain friends with the brothers, maybe even show up at the parties and all that good stuff.

Now for the bad news, you probably wont get a bid. I know it might sound unfair, but the brotherhood has decided. Never in the history of our house has an associate member been acceptedback after being removed from the pledge program.

But hey, maybe you'll get really lucky, who knows.

-PKT bro.
