i learned more outside of my classes in college than i did in my classes //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
i view it as more of a time to establish that you can sustain on your own, while preparing for the real world.

how does drinking yourself to a stupor and paying way to much to live somewhere help to prepare you for the real world and help you establish you can sustain on your own?

I didn't realize that until it was too late and I was asked to leave. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

such is life.

well, personally, i did much more than just that... perhaps you wasted your collegiate career with that stuff, but the people that succeed and make it through college find that they are forced to find a balance between school and personal life, and that they cant just party all the time.

Anyway, I pretty much knew which fraternities I wanted to join

I am very sorry that you have to pay for your friends. After you graduate, if you do. You have a 3% chance to hear from 1 of those people again. Save your money. Concentrate on your schooling. Are you going to college to prepare for a career, or make new friends?

Greek life opens you up to more opportunities than you would get otherwise. With that in mind, you pretty much get out of it what you put into it. If you're going to join IFC greeks, which is what it looks like you're doing, then prepare to spend $300-$500 AT LEAST in dues per term.

If you live in house, sometimes it's a lot more.

But if mommy/daddy pay for all of your expenses, you're good to go.

I am Omega Delta Phi at Oregon State, we were only founded in 1987 nationally and locally in 1999. We're in UGC (United Greek Council), which is a different umbrella organization than IFC (Inter-Fraternal Council). My dues are minimal, as in less than $300 a YEAR for both local, national, and UGC dues.

With that being said, I've gotten more out of this brotherhood than I would have in any other facet of life. And this is just my opinion, but IFC fraternities aren't all that they're cracked up to be for everyone.

Worst advice ever.

Is there a black equivalent to fraternities? or are those the bloods and crips?
I don't know anything about college but from everything I have seen (think revenge of the nerds, animal house etc) they are mostly white.

Fail.
We have Kappa Alpha Psi, and Omega Psi Phi here at OSU and they both have some pretty awesome guys.

i pledged for a semester in a UCF frat before quitting, it's all overrated. and 99% of the soroity (sp?) girls are about as intellegent as the 3/4in mdf we use for our boxes. the hotter the dumber, typically speaking. reallllly overrated. you'll have a bunch of douvhes and a handful of drama queen fegs that think they're cool. only thing its good for in the long run is teach you how to put up with assholes if you havent learned already

pretty much agree...although i'm in a professional fraternity and we do party sometimes, it is a completely different experience. and our dues are only $125 a semester. the socials are like $1500-3600...friendship worth it? and if you use the argument of "all my friends are in there" welll then, why don't they hang out with you now that they are IN and you AREN'T?? true friends...

Jesus Christ, 3600 a semester? The most expensive ones down here are like 600 a sem. The one Im looking to join is maybe half that.

One positive for you would be the frat *****s.

Even though they have been around so much I wouldn't even touch them. which is a very broad statement. But the frat guys around here don't seem to mind sharing the same girls with their very best frat buddies! From what I have seen and heard, theres a guy guys they pass around too.
