Were you in a fraternity Veeky Forums?

Always regret not joining one in college. Any cool party/hazing stories? Impact on your life/fitness overall?

Can grad students join? Didn’t join undergrad now I just want to see what it’s all about/worth it

My fraternity made us do exercise early in the mornings and a bunch of sit ups, planks, holding squats, and a bunch of other different endurance positions.
I was had pretty good stamina by the end of it but don't know about now.

I had** fuck
I'm pretty sure they can most frats just have a "must be a student here" requirement.
Good for social gains you just have to out up with the process.

My fucking grammar is all over the place, fuck this phone.

Our fraternity had a tradition of having each pledge class care for/carry around a single beta fish throughout their pledging. Every fish we had generally wouldn't make it the full pledgeship except one fish, George. This fucker survived THREE pledge periods until one day some knucklehead dropped him and the Mason jar they kept him in shattered and he got sliced by the glass. We had the pledges set up a full fledged funeral with a procession, eulogy etc. for the remaining weeks of their pledgeship instead of carrying around George in his Mason jar, they carried George's ashes in an urn.

Being in a fraternity was top-fun. Especially at a medium sized school such as mine that didn't really have much else to do.

Seems like it would have been cool but I don't think I could have put up with being a bitch for a semester, I'm not doing gay shit to get into a secret club.

No, because I'm not an amerifat.

yes and there was unironically 0 gay shit. the most "gay" part was the start of initiation, where you dressed down to underwear, walked into the room, and immediately put on a robe

our initiation week was entirely hanging out all day, 1 hour of pseudo-philosophical shit each night, and going to Perkins at midnight every night

Parties were incredible. basically the one time in a young woman's life when she is most willing to put out. being 6'2" and barely fit, I still got with at least 5 chick's a week, some weeks 20+

>ywn live in a dorm
>ywn join a fraternity
I'm so jealous of you amerimutts. I had so little social life during college that I literally studied out of boredom. It got me high grades of course but I could have done just as well (maybe even better because I'd been happier) if I had your crazy amerimutt college life.

Frats are gay as fuck
Thats gay as fuck

t. no bid

I was, made me a much better man than I would've been otherwise. Still very close to a lot of my brothers to this day.

>literally paying for friends
Do americans really do this?

dorms are overrated as fuck though

>thin ass walls
>can hear when people have sex
>you quickly get through most of the girls
>sharing bathroom/kitchen with idiots who leave their shit everywhere is tiring
>sharing internet that slows down @ 10 pm since all the guys are watching porn
>bunch of useless drama (he/she said that, he/she fucked her/him)

these are probably the worst things, but the social life is easy mode

im not from america so ymmw

Yeah, honestly if there's anything I don't regret is living alone without a roommate. It's unbelievably comfy and I never feel lonely. However I would still sacrifice that for dem social gains you get with dorms.

most clubs and sports have fees to get in
the school itself costs money to get in
without money you would only hangout with poor people doing nothing that costs money

went to a state school known for partying and was in a frat
obviously there was lots of partying
but i also got 20-40 hours of community service per semester, regularly played intramural sports (tons of fun and great cardio, some are co-ed), maintained good grades, held leadership positions in the frat (being on exec involves voting and control of budget), and made great friends
i encourage it if you enjoy that sports-team kind of camaraderie

I never rushed
[spoiler]I played a sport instead[/spoiler]

>can hear when people have sex
good motivation to get laid, when you fucking when they fucking the noise doesn't really matter
>you quickly get through most of the girls
pace yourself or get a qt gf
>sharing bathroom/kitchen with idiots who leave their shit everywhere is tiring
poorfag, get better dorms
>sharing internet that slows down @ 10 pm since all the guys are watching porn
learn to configure qos on the router so you can have better speeds
>bunch of useless drama (he/she said that, he/she fucked her/him)
learning what people do, and how to deal with their shit

plz user, doesn't mean all dorms are bad just because you're a faggot

I'm in the original fraternity, freemasons

>implying ceos hang around hobos

society is literally built up around money, have you ever heard about Bill Gates hanging around with hobos?

>my frat got pulled off of my campus for hazing a brother.
Was a good time.

>poorfag, get better dorms
well if you have your own kitchen/bathroom, the social life is greatly reduced
>learn to configure qos on the router so you can have better speeds
not as simple as that, everyone has the same ip/are connected to the same line, it is not a big problem for me since i use my mobile as a hotspot (300 down/ 50 up)
>learning what people do, and how to deal with their shit
again, not really a big problem, but a lot of girls like to gossip about that shit

>plz user, doesn't mean all dorms are bad just because you're a faggot
i said those were the worst things, if you dont think those are bad, and they really aren't, then how did you come to the conclusion that i think dorms are bad?

>ever considering joining a frat
Neck yourself you fucking normie trash

I've only been in a frat in Germany. From what I've heard it comes down to a lot if the same things e.g. living together and all the shenanigans that come with it.
I really enjoyed my time and would recommend it to anyone who has a little trouble socializing.
I wouldn't recommend it if you're a full on autist, because it is very social.

What are the initiating rites like in the US?

Yes and it unironically was the best 4 years of my life, the real world sucks. Only regret was having a gf for some of it and having to pass on more sluts then I want to think about

u have to do an elephant walk and every time a brother blows the whistle u switch thumbs

I went to a party school (SDSU) and never joined a frat, never went to a single party. I was a sad lonely cunt who looked down on frats, now I wish to God I would have pledged and actually tried to enjoy myself and make some friends.
