transfer and then joining a frat??

<p>I'm transferring into UCLA as a junior starting fall quarter so I was wondering if anyone on this board can give me their opinions.. If i pledge with a frat and all my pledgemates are freshmen/ sophomore, I'm going to be the only one thats probably a 21 year old out of all of dem?? Also, does this mean that the freshmen who pledged last quarter will have seniority over me? I'm definitely going to join a frat, but the problem is that I don't know if I'm going to be accepted as well since I'm going to be a junior.. Can anyone shed some light on this??</p>

<p>dont worry. theres 21+ year old seniors that pledge my friends frat down there. if i end up at ucla im pledging too.
Im also transferring in as a junior.</p>

<p>hell, there's people who are 30 years old and they're in frats here :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Ya, I'm gonna be a transferring junior and I'm deff pledging :)</p>

<p>lol at that</p>

<p>the fake student right?</p>

<p>I wonder if we'll get to live in the frat house since we're going to be juniors and have less "seniority" compared to everybody. I better be able to live in the house at least 1 quarter and experience it or else I'm gonna be mad!</p>

<p>i dont know how it is for frats, but a lot of second and third years do pledge and they get along fine.</p>

<p>That's exactly wut I wanted to hear..</p>

<p>What are some of the social frats at UCLA other than SAE and sigma chi?</p>

<p>Should I join an asian frat?? I've heard horror stories about their hazing practices though</p>

<p>dunno, im planning on joining SAE as one of my good friends is in it. plus i stayed in their house for a few days when i went down and visited earlier this year</p>

<p>social frats -</p>

<p>pike and theta chi are super shady, also heard that pike is racist against asians.
sig pi and pikapp are pretty popular with the house
kd likes dtd
aepi is okay, maybe kinda jewish
sae, sig nu, beta, phi psi are pretty typical
ago is a lot of fun for being completely dry</p>

<p>as for asian frats, both of them haze hella hard
my friend's friend broke his hand pledging lambdas, and one of my friends who was a pledge for omegas said that they got beat up and did pushups on glass.</p>

<p>also, don't rush triangle, thats like social suicide. unless you just want cheap housing. i heard that triangle's house was donated,</p>

<p>theres more but i haven't heard anything about them</p>

<p>alcohol is very present here, you just need to get to know some people and not hole yourself up in ccc or something like that. pot is everywhere too, db was toking in the suites this one night even, and we get "funny smells" all hte time.</p>

<p>the frats are... well, seriously, what do you expect. pre-party! pre-preparty! pre-pre-preparty! drunk people everywhere</p>

<p>btw that sig nu party was ****, and not in a good way

<p>And what is your point about Triangle's house being donated? They have been in the same house since 1956 according to their website, nothing on there about it only being donated.</p>

<p>why are pike and theta chi shady against asians? are they mostly white or something?</p>

<p>just because they drink doesn't mean they have great standing.</p>

<p>pike is mostly white.</p>

<p>this is true.</p>

<p>Then which one is the most multi-cultural? Which one would you guys recommend if I'm interested in strictly social and networking while not feeling out of place being the only asian.</p>

<p>I have friends who are in asian frats and I dont like the high school thuggish mentality that some of them have.</p>

<p>During Rush week you will be able to meet the members of all of the fraternities, and decide which one is best for you to consider pledging.</p>

<p>quite a few asians in pikapp</p>

<p>Which club or frat would get most attractive girls???</p>

<p>check out zeta psi, we dont haze and we're cool</p>

<p>^ i like you guys :)
there's a zeta psi on my floor. you guys seem really chill and... dare i say NORMAL? not... typical frat-guy ish xD</p>
