We actually didn't have any of those last night, one guy with a ponytail (didn't get a bid), thats it.
We gave out ten bids last night and only had two guys sit on it, the guys we have are very solid... but they can't know that of course.

I'm sorry but i seriously laughed out loud. My African American friend was rushing his freshman year during fall and for lack of a better term didn't know the "sterotypes" of certain fraternities and walked into the ka house during rush, saw a confederate flag, and walked back out.

and i always get jorts comments from my ucf and fsu friends but i have maybe seen 3 or 4 people ever wearing jean shorts here.. and defiantly never anyone who was greek. (except for ka who i heard actually HAD a jorts social.. to each his own)

I've seen at least 20 in Gainesville and I've only been there one time for more than an hour. Guys in southern fraternities have too much style to wear jorts as anything but a joke but the GDIs are clueless. Here at FSU we have a high number Guido GDIs and down there in Jortsville there seems to be a high number of geeks in jean shorts.
SEC... unless that kid's a legacy then I think its safe to assume that KA is gonna pass. I can only think of two fraternities here that would take someone of that "caliber" and KA is definitely not one of them. IDK how it is there but KA and EX are probably the two most exclusive fraternities here.

I dont think Obama had supporters in other decades. Hillary supporters would receive the same treatment lol.

Maybe its because I'm from the deep South where virtually everyone is conservative, but he'd have a hard time getting into any fraternity here even without the KA comments, the obama comments alone would be enough for many to show him the door.

I commend you for admitting to that, but don't you think it's a bit rediculous to not live up to thte standards of non-discriminatory?

I don't think its ridiculous at all. I think thats its pointless to have discriminatory laws in GLOs.

And you are not from the South are you?

[PhiGam]

I wouldn't hammer an Obama supporter but I would hammer an Obama supporter who is stupid enough to think that they have a shot at being a KA.

I live near Oberlin College. You know, the hotbed of Abolitionism and the first college to admit African Americans on a regular basis. Many historians believe that Oberlin was the town that started the Civil War.

Now you know why I think there is way too much distcrimination in SEC fraternities.

So you are to say that we should just open our doors to everyone who wants to join. I know that you being in a sorority decided to cut someone for whatever reason. Uh oh, by doing that you discriminated against her by saying she did not fit in with your organization for whatever reason.

Hmmm.
Low Grades, Lack of Activities, No Leadership.
Yes, they didn't fit in.

Maybe its just different where you are from, but certain people just do not fit into certain organizations. For instance, had I rushed anywhere in the North, they would have called me a douche for wearing Sperry, Costa Del Mar, and Ralph Lauren, and probably cut me for it. Fraternities are generally compromised of people with like interests, values, and such. All I am saying is someone who supports Obama, would not fit in my chapter, so really we would be doing him a favor cutting. And before you start bashing the SEC fraternities, how many white people do you know in BGLOs. It is no different.
