Is THIS what pledging is really like?

<p>I've learned a lot about colleges these past years, but I haven't delved into frats or anything yet. My best friend who goes to a southern school (which might make a difference) linked me to this vid and said that is how the pledging process goes. </p>

<p>I think it's dumb and corny. Do all frats demand you to answer pointless questions and do something that stupid and almost degrading? And why is this even allowed by colleges?</p>

<p>I don’t think it’s dumb or corny. ::shrugs::</p>

<p>You’re fully aware that that is an advertisement for a gay pornography site, correct?</p>

<p>wait, because you dont want to do something you dont have to do and wont be doing, it should be banned? what?</p>

<p>its a bonding experience, and none of your business. why would you complain? doubt that kid would appreciate your sympathy.</p>

<p>also lol@its watermark</p>

<p>Frats are stupid. Waste of time and energy. Not only are frat guys bumbling idiots, they make you do pointless activities just to call them your friend. I’ve never met a frat guy that I would go out of my way to hang out with. Theres just nothing special, cool, unique or inspiring about em’. They like to say “i found a bond of friends that will last a lifetime,” but in reality, they could have joined any frat and earned the same “life bond” with those guys too. If you need friends that bad join Eharmony.com or effing twitter.</p>

<p>yeah this is pretty much what pledging is like</p>

<p>“Frats are stupid. Waste of time and energy.”</p>

<p>Be careful what you say. You may offend a whole bunch of people who find greek life significant and meaningful. This is all stereotypes.</p>

<p>I’m sure some people like the whole Greek thing, but it’s pretty much against all of my values, except for maybe the community service aspect. So I picked a nerd school with a lame frat scene. If you don’t want to get involved with Greeks, avoid them.</p>

<p>“its a bonding experience, and none of your business.”</p>

<p>That’s like saying he / she can’t give a view on a tv show, political issue, etc. Everything in public is anyone’s business. Learn it.</p>

<p>Nephew is quite nerdy and joined a revenge of the nerds-type frat. The only process he had to go through was beat some levels on a hard video game. Nothing really like this. Please do not over generalize, nov9th. Also, why the HELL is the kid in the underwear playing with himself?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>While I’m pretty neutral on on this, if that’s his/her opinion…well, that’s his/her opinion. Not everyone is going to be pro-frat.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yea, I think your friend was playing a joke on you.</p>

<p>nah, its true. i can vouch personally that all frats are like this</p>

<p>Do most frat houses have a swimming pools and nice furniture like that? I haven’t seen too many frat houses but that one seemed oddly “high scale” compare to what i’ve been in. :P</p>

<p>your experiences must be wrong then.</p>

<p>^ Likely but the two I visited had a broken down bathroom and the house must have been close to 30 years old if not more with much of the same decor. </p>

<p>I don’t get how that makes my experience wrong…just citing a difference.</p>

<p>lol sounds like there was a short in your mind body connection. i can say FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE that ALL frats are like the ones in the video</p>

<p>It IS a gay porn site wt.f</p>

<p>Wow you’ve personally experience ALL FRATS, I commend you, not an easy undertaking at all. :P</p>

<p>all frats are traps to get you to do gay porn</p>

<p>dont say that</p>
