I'm jealous.....still stuck at home, without much for liquor....hmm, maybe I'll start the day off with a tequila sunrise.....
 
Ahh yes...my Jack.....can't pass up on it. I love it way too much. If I'm going mixed drinks there are soo many good choices. You've got the Lynchburg Lemonaide, Blue Lagoon, Captain's cream soda, Royal flush, jager bombs, jack and coke, and many others I'm sure.

However, I can't be drinking quite so heavy anymore...I'm in season which means one drinking night a week, plus my weekly one beer at my house meeting.

How's everyone's tuesday goin?
Mine started out with lifting, then lunch, then more working out this afternoon and a little bit of relaxing here and there tossed in. Going to the wrestling match we've got tonight to support my friends. I love being back at school with no schoolwork :D
 
So I must ask, anyone here in frats or sororities?

Me personally, no, some of my friends are and I always make the joke that they pay for friendship :p.
 
I was in a frat, and while you paid for some friends, others came naturally. It was more like paying for the club and connections.
 
True hehe, how was your "hell week" in it, most my friends said it sucked. One of the "inducties" reported the frats doings on "hell week" and this was the last year they could do what they did (I don't know what they even did).

I agree with you totally on paying for friendships.

Now everyone has their own opinions on this and here are mine.

Yes I am in a fraternity. I am in a local fraternity here on my campus. I did not pledge till my junior year which means I only have one year to live in the house (one semester right now)...but I still did. I would not trade it for anything in the world. Through pledging I was put in with a group of people, of whom I knew 1 outside of the club other than seeing them hangout at parties and such. After pledging, I can trust them with anything and I know that if I ever need anything they are there. Not only my pledgebrothers but also my other fraternity brothers. I don't always get along with everyone in the club and such, but they are there for me when I need them and I'm there for them. I don't pay for those friendships, my dues go towards upkeep on the house and for parties and stuff we use. There is no other fraternity quite like mine, and that's a good thing. True, I can't go to some other school that has my fraternity and just hang out with them, but yet at the same time, we don't have to put up with all the crap I see our national greek clubs going through. We can just be us, and we have the ultimate decision making in how we want our club to move. Pledging was a royal pain in the neck, and was incredibly tough. However, it was the most fun thing I have ever done, though I wouldn't do all of it again. I'm digressing from the topic though.

The main reasons I wanted to pledge and join were these:
1) I was good friends with most everyone in the club beforehand.
2) I knew I would fit in with them and it would feel right, which it does.
3) I wanted to pledge somewhere where the letters actually meant something, and here they do compared to some of the frats at my school
4) It appealled to me.
 
we actually don't use the greek system at my college. i don't really mind, but i guess i have nothing to compare it too.

i've made most of my friends through clubs and being in the same class (being a major in a small dept helps). we also have co-ed dorms, so i have made friends with a lot more girls than i've normally had in my shy, reclusive past.

It's neat that it is private instead of national. Does it help you in school when applying to your specific college for your major (I don't know if you have to do that or not). At Arizona we have to apply to get into our college's major at end of Soph year. You need more things other than good grades (aka: give them more money so they will except you). In my opinion this is bullshit, they want us to join clubs and frats to suppliment our application. Maybe I'm bias, but I'm already paying 20 Grand / year or whatever i don't know the exact atm, and they want more just so I can do my major? Sorry for the rant but had to :p.
 
VCU student here.

19/M...nursing major.


How is everyone? I'm east coast so I'm obviously taking advantage of the remnants of winter break by staying up this late.

Anyone up with me?
 
I wish I wasn't so damn old....LOL

You know, if I had gone to college at a younger age, I think I might have joined a frat, even thoug I'd probably have been the poor one there...LOL...

However, since I didn't, and I am just a "lowly" CC student, it's ok.

Besides, I did enough frat living (better known as heavy drinking) in both the Navy AND the Army to last me a lifetime...

So now, I drink slowly and less, but enjoy it a little more. Well, not always slowly, but I definitely enjoy it a lot.:D

Shaq, sorry, can't join you for that...class started yesterday for us...*sigh*
 
dunno bout yall but i can't wait to get back to class
heh i know it'll wear off soon after but dam im tired of like doing nothing :p
 
DAMN!
pass me some of that LIT!!! I love that stuff!!

As far as Frats and Sorors...... I Really don't have an opinion one way or the other...my friends and I have been trying to get one off the ground for about 1 and half to two years now and some of my closest friends are in a Frat...if I could I would definatly join them...they are so much fun. We dont' have housing for greeks so it's really a you hang out with who you want ot hang out and it helps makes connections in the real world and at other schools :)

by the wya I'm borrowing my parent's DSL for about 4 hours so I'm flying by!! :D

Speaking as the employee of a university, I'd like to say that the schools are getting pretty boring too without the students. It goes both ways! We want y'all back!
 
All my friends are back to school that came home, so all I'm doing all day is playing PS2 (Xmas present yaya) and refreshing this thread :p.
