Well, I am getting close to getting initiated into my Fraternity. Raven met a few of my Actives last night at my Party (Totally got him to play beer pong lul). And I was wondering what is yall's opinions on fraternities? And in Specific Mine if you know of it (Beta Theta Pi).

I have a very stereotypical perception of them. Group of college age douche bags that Natty Light, rape young women and think they are hot shit because of it. I am also learning that they LOVE Deadmou5. Which is odd to me as I always envisioned them liking Dave Mathews, Sublime, and/or Incubus.

Although, I know that you are not that type of person so am interested to know more about the frat that you are in.

Here are the ones I know the most about:

Pi Kappa Alpha - Complete and utter douchebags. They rape girls, drink until they vomit and blast their music next door when I am trying to sleep for god's sake you're my fucking suitemate.
Lambda Chi Alpha - NERDS. The one I would join, probably.
Sigma Phi Epsilon - Very generic, but nice enough guys. Laid back, famous for letting lots of people in.

The only problem I have with any fraternity besides Pike is that they do truly think that they are better than people who aren't in fraternities, and that's bullshit. My brother told me that he felt that way when he was in one, but then recommended me to not join one, citing them as "pretty gay" in retrospect.

"Pretty gay" is a good description but I do know a guy who's in one who's cool.

Pike is the same way at Ole Miss, Sig Ep though is the Party Fraternity. No Lamda Chi Alpha at Ole Miss.

On Hollywood's note, yes my Fraternity actually does enjoy Techno, particularly Dubstep (weird, ikr?), they also really like your work (>.>)d

I am sure there are lots of exceptions/anomalies.

Yay! Someone like my dubstep stuff!

Sidenote:
Dubstep is getting really mainstream really fast. It will probably have a couple songs in the US top 40 by summer 2011 at the latest.

It's almost scary how fast dubstep is invading popular culture.

Scooter's frat bros seemed cool enough. One guy was described as "sits in his room and plays the Scott Pilgrim game all day", which is certainly awesome in my book. Also, watching them fuck with the pledge that fell asleep early was really fucking funny.

Also, Hollywood, I've been showing some people your music, too. They always seem to like it (especially The Man Who Lived in Dreams). >_>b

Don't really care one way or the other but I certainly would join one. I also don't know of yours in particular so I can't comment on it.

Everybody pretends to do nothing but play video games these days because that's considered cool now.

And I was wondering what is yall's opinions on fraternities?


A waste of time and money. However, where I live there are two different sorts of fraternities. The one you guys would call 'professional fraternities' (who negotiate with publishing houses on the price of books, sometimes handle complaints, and generally have a lot of influence on the courses and policies of the different departments), and the fraternities where people go to get smashed and fuck freshmen girls who are desperately trying to prove how grown-up they are. (Typically damsels too stupid to realize they're in distress).

Professional fraternities are great, they do many useful things. The other type is best of ignored. There are four of them in the place I study, and they vary in their level of terribleness.

:sum: A 'Europe-oriented' frat. I wouldn't say they are all nice people, but they certainly are the least assholish. They can get you a nice discount on traveling abroad. Don't have a hazing ritual, and they don't reject people.

:sum: A 'Christian' fraternity. Smallest of the four. Also not very assholish and don't haze new members. They are very, very Christian people, so be aware that you're always one poorly chosen word away from a religious downpour. (I also suspect them of spreading anti-evolutionary bullshit in people's maiboxes, so you can probably add 'passive-aggressive behavior' to their list of flaws).

:sum: A 'traditional' frat. Condescending assholes who are absolutely convinced they are better than you in every single way. Freshmen must buy beer for members which are senior to them. Stand there, don't look here, don't speak unless spoken to, and you better not wear white socks). Belligerent numskulls who have initiation rites which sometimes put people in a hospital bed. Basically a group of Cartman clones

:sum: A 'general' frat. Somehow even worse than the traditional frat. If you are a lobotomized monkey whose idea of fun is bashing old bicycles to pieces with a large mallet, then this is the frat for you. Antisocial pricks with little to no concept of decency with dumb hazing rituals. Consists entirely of 'cool' people. Accidentally burned down their own club house (and that of the other three frats), and were proud of it.

My Fraternity is a Small one who doesn't haze, just the occasional "Fuck witcha". We do a lot of Philantropy, have the highest national GPA (iirc), and we just like to have a good time.

I know, I just want to prove to yall that all Fraternities aren't just what you see in the media or the bad one's yall know from experience. Because if yall have the preconception, it reflects badly on me.

professional and service frats are alright.
it's the social frats that aren't worth the light of day.

if there were any professional frat that was relevant to me, i would seriously consider joining.

I think I might actually join a professional frat here, but the stigma of UGA Bros and frats is still very strong.

But yeah frats in general are bad mmk. There are just some exceptions. And that's about it.

Why do you even give a fuck? In three/four years you'll be out of college and it won't matter for shit in any case.

yeah. that's 90% of the practical purpose of frats.
especially with professional frats that match your field of study.

Sounds like slowed down darkwave and industrial. I don't see why anyone would queue for this shit, I haven't found anything that doesn't sound like elevator music for cunts.
