What happened to my thread about fraternities?

Akkus · #1 07-31-2006, 07:46 PM

I thought that thread had a lot of questions and answers about fraternities and it was very helpful for me and probably other ones who were thinking of joining fraternities. I don't know why that thread got deleted though.

I don't remember seeing anything offensive or illegal in that thread.

Why is it that when there are 1000s of threads about sororities and I open 1 thread about fraternities my thread gets deleted?

Not sure there, but lets go ahead and continue it here. It's possible that when you weren't looking someone posted some crap in it.

By the way, we're totally cool with you asking fraternity questions, the only difficult part is that there isn't a universal standard for fraternity recruitment (like formal recruitment for NPC sororities) but people will give you the best advice they can. AND use judgement in what you believe.

I totally agree with you. I just wish there was one big thread about fraternities where all the questions and answers are combined together so whenever someone had a question he could ask it in that thread and also read the other answers as well. Then we wouldn't need to open a number of new threads for new questions.

They'll delete 90% of the things you write, offensive or not.

That would be a collective YOU meaning you the fratties. He's not included in the fratties.

Well, rename this one Fraternity Rush and if we make it worthwhile we could get a sticky.

I'm actually of the opinion that this forum could use a "Fraternity Rush" subforum, as the few fraternity-oriented threads seem to get pushed out very quickly by the overwhelming quantity of sorority discussions.

I think you might get a thread sticky...but there wouldn't be enough activity to warrant an actual sub-forum.

Hey all… I’ll be a freshman at USC this fall (actually, in about a week!) and I’d like to join a fraternity.

Is anyone on this board familiar with the rush process at USC? Is rush as stressful and intense for USC guys as it apparently is for USC girls? Do most guys who want to pledge get a bid?

I guess I just really don’t know what to expect… any input or advice would be great.

Or if that's too vague...

I'd like to get an idea of each fraternity's reputation before rush, and I'm sure I'll be able to do that to an extent on campus, but since rush starts only a week after I arrive on campus... It'd be really helpful if someone on this board who knows about the fraternities at USC could help.... like, you know, which ones are known as the jock fraternities, which one the nerds, which one the hard partiers, etc...

Thanks so much!

I doubt very much you'll get any assistance with that from anyone here. Most people on GC do not like to further stereotypes that are associated with individual chapters or whole fraternities.

ahhhh, oh well…. There are just so many, and it seems like it will be so hard to get an impression of each during that very brief time period from the beginning of school until the end of rush (less than 2 weeks)….

well, if anyone is willing to share their impressions, but doesn’t want to publish it on the board, feel free to PM me…

maybe if you go to Recruitment Stories Forum and open a new thread about your rush you may be able to attract good advices in that thread. People like rush stories.
