greek life

<p>okay, so ive looked on tamu's greek life website, and i was wondering if anyone had any personal oppinions on going greek, certain sororities, eligibility, getting in, anything like that.</p>

<p>let me know, im just kinda curious about it :)</p>

<p>Can we get a list of the best frats and who they party with?</p>

<p>Someone’s got to say this, so let it be me, I guess. Greek life goes against the very spirit of Aggieland. Historically there has been no Greek life at A&M, and only a minor influence in recent years. Many college administrators would kill for a situation like this. If frats start to develop a strong culture of their own on campus, that would sadly detract from the Aggie culture and traditions. Not to mention draw a dividing line in the college culture between “cool partying frat Aggies” and “all other Aggies”. It would destroy a lot of what A&M has taken generations to build. All for the sake of a few more “fun” drunken parties?</p>

<p>If you want frats, go to Red Raiderland.</p>

<p>So what do people do for fun? Sit in their dorms playing video games? Are there dorm parties?</p>

<p>There is plenty of partying, yes, in dorms and elsewhere. Aggie football and other sports are huge. Intramurals and club activities are huge.</p>

<p>The fact that the greek life is minimal at TAMU is a big plus in my book. You can definitely have fun without it too.</p>

<p>people i know go out dancing at least once a week. then they have favorite clubs they like to go to as well.</p>

<p>pay for yo friends, yo.</p>

<p>^You could look at it that way. Or you could look at it as you’ll make lifelong friends who you can network with, and the money is spent on your living there, parties, and other activities or event you’ll hold. Most frats aren’t charging you a lot more than they need to to keep the house up and have fun.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah, key words there… a.k.a. booze money. </p>

<p>You can make lifelong friends and network quite well without being in a frat. Besides, how many people at 30 or 40 even talk to most of their buds in college? Think about it.</p>

<p>Look, I understand how being in a frat can look “cool” brah. I even rushed my first semester at TAMU, before dropping out of rush and realizing how 99% of people in frats are ******bags. College is expensive enough as it is, save your money and make some real friends.</p>

<p>my daughter went through rush just as gstein, but she walked as well. Not her kind - and it is very expensive in a sororoity. very…</p>

<p>My dad was in a frat at Michigan and he sees most of them at least 1-2 times every year. Obviously it costs something to party and have fun. Whatever fun you choose to have costs money.</p>
