<p>lol if I EVER saw a party handing out cheese cubes, I would proceed to pull the fire alarm and save everyone from having a very disappointing night lmao</p>
<p>Don’t ever take anything coolbrezze says seriously… ever.
coolbreeze is still in high school.</p>
<p>Coolbreeze, you should start your own fraternity where we can also have games such as scrabble and monopoly, in addition to appetizers, instead of just alcohol. Call it Tool-Delta-Tool - Ann Arbor.</p>
<p>@ Ineedblue: Me and my brother have been thinking about joining a fraternity soon. For me, probably Sophomore or Junior year. My brother and I want to be Kappas. I’m not really too sure about Sigma’s or Theta’s, but if I was to join a Fraternity I’d probably join an African American one. Its weird how the AA Fraternities get shut down by police because from what I hear, police don’t even shut down the other Fraternities where all the drinking is going on. I honestly am a dancer like I’ve posted earlier so I’m excited about going to Frat parties. I have another question though. When I ask someone about the Frat experience, they can’t tell me specifics. They are really general and its like they are hiding all the info about joining and getting into a Frat and how Frats operate. Can anyone tell me why?</p>
<p>(I guess parties you find with appertizers may contain champagne, but I’m just pointing out that everyone/ every party isn’t into liquor)
Entertainer I don’t know much about dancing etc… but I would only assume it’s more common at night clubs. Though as it seems by posters, there are house parties that have a large if not decent dancing scene.</p>
<p>■■■■■ … this just gets better and better</p>
<p>Is it true that you need to be on a “list” to get into a Greek party if you’re not in a frat yourself?</p>
<p>You don’t need to be on a “list” specifically, but when trying to get into the exclusive frat parties as mentioned above, you do need to be friends with someone in the frat, sneak in through the back or side door if you don’t know anyone (most frats don’t check their side or back doors), bring a few girls, or be an athlete or your chances of getting in are slim (this is of course only at the top frats like Phi Psi, SAE, Theta Chi). PIKE, Chi Phi, AEPi and the other frats are pretty easy to just walk into and grab a beer. However, welcome week all of this does not apply, pretty much anyone can get into any party during welcome week because frats want as many people as they can to try and rush.</p>
<p>Also, contrary to what coolbreeze may lead you to believe, smaller house parties probably have heavier drinking than some frat parties because university rules restrict frats from throwing keggars (although sometimes they just do it anyway), the beer doesn’t run out because there are less people, and there is little to no chance of the cops even showing up. Smaller house parties also tend to have more beer pong tables, flip cup, beer bonging and kegs which leads to more drinking. I would agree with the people that have posted earlier in the thread that big house parties, Necto night club, or frat parties are the best places to find a dancing scene.</p>
<p>@ Entertainer:</p>
<p>Are you even black? Lol… i don’t think the black people at U of M are the ones you would see at your school…</p>
<p>When I mention house parties, I’m speaking of all parties within a house… that include greek houses.</p>
<p>House parties are parties at off-campus houses. They don’t include greek houses. No one says that.</p>
<p>@R-KATT I am black if that helps in some way. I thought you would have guessed that from reading the other posts on this thread. Also what do you mean by the black people at U-M are different than the blacks that are in my school? My school is 60% black and U-M is 60% white. I’m aware of the different territory that I will be facing when I arrive at U-M. You could say I party with people of both worlds. I drink and play beer pong(terrible at it) at caucasian parties…etc. I’ve been dancing for four years, going on five… I’m auditioning this fall for either Dance2XS or .Anonymous. I’m a hip-hop dancer so when I usually go to parties with mostly African Americans, there is mostly dancing and less drinking. That is why I’m asking questions about the party scene at U-M, since I party so much. Is there something different about the African Americans on campus?</p>
<p>R-KATT doesn’t know what he or she’s talking about lol. The black students on campus are close knit and supportive since we are in essence a shrinking number. I have felt that from black people everywhere so I only see superficial differences between black UM students and the general black population. I’m not from Michigan and knew only a few people when I came to school but everyone (white, black, green, yellow) on campus was very welcoming. You will feel right at home no matter where you fall into place @Entertainer.</p>
<p>Back on topic, every freshman should definitely get out and have some fun during welcome week. Hell, have fun all of Fall semester because once winter hits, things become alot less fun. The frats dont have as many open parties and its just too cold to do anything serious. Welcome week was CRAZY last year. Just be safe, alot of freshman have trouble knowing how much is too much.</p>
<p>Entertainer, I think what R-KATT meant by being “different” is that at U-M they are wealthier, but by R-KATT’s thinking that’s true of any race/ethnicity because a large percentage (although probably not a majority) of people that attend Michigan are going to be wealthier than the high school crowd you hung out with unless you went to a top private school or elite public school because it is one of the elite colleges in the nation. That’s what I think R-KATT was meaning to say, correct me if I’m wrong.</p>
<p>I agree with Ibleedblue though, everyone is generally very accepting at Michigan of different personalities and race/ethnicities.</p>
<p>No… i am just saying that the black population at U of M is not going to be like that black guy who was trying to sell me a pair of fake air force ones last year. this is not supposed to be an offensive comment, but i just thought that those were the black ppl Entertainer was associated with.</p>
<p>Sorry, there prbly will be no adderall dealers at U of M</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>this is false.</p>
<p>I’ve lived in Michigan a long time. White guys generally don’t dance here, as there aren’t very many Italians here. If you see a straight white guy dancing, he’s drunk, and it isn’t pretty. Entertainer, you won’t have a very tough time impressing the ladies with your dancing ability in Ann Arbor.</p>
<p>Well I’m not poor. My Mother is a Pediatrician and my father works with the American Stock exchange. The Neighborhood I live in isn’t poor either. It is a semi-affluent small town. However the people that I party with are poor because they live in a low-income neighborhood of course. The city is called Newark, NJ. It is the epicenter of black culture in New Jersey. That is why I party or associate myself with the people there. I usually go there to either battle other groups or have fun. My African American friends who live in my town are not poor. I don’t think I should have a tough time fitting in or getting used to Michigan. I’m just going to have fun on Welcome Week and try to be at many places at once. Usually when black people are low in numbers at any school that I’ve seen, they usually stick together. Its very noticeable. Honestly I’m very open minded and just can’t wait to get here. 1 more month away.</p>
<p>Why is this thread still going? Some people dance at frat parties and clubs and then there are the Phi Psi guys who dance with no shirts on while pregaming. Most suck at dancing. End thread.</p>
<p>Thread Reinstated</p>
