Fraternities-Sororities

[KonBah]

Anybody in them?? If so..........what are you in??

[Ryan]

im not in anything but off the top of myhead i know about Pi delta psi, one of my roomies was in that, and kappa delta phi, one of the asian sororities..other than that dont know much about em, although one nice thing about them was that if we had a party at our house, they made the pledges the "security" personnel, they couldnt party, they had to keep things in check. i liked that. sometimes they cleaned too. :ph34r:

[jare2003]

Not in anything myself, and don't ever plan to join one at college, but I was curious if most Asians here go for a traditional mostly white frat/sorority, or join an AA one.

[Hanuman]

I went to SUNY Albany and I joined Pi Lambda Phi. I had a great time. It was a white fraternity, but billed itself as being diverse. To it's credit, we did have a pretty diverse group. There were quite a few Asian-American student organizations, but no AA fraternities.

[karizma]

>> i plan on joining a sorority...looks fun and im always up for a challenge...anyone know any good sororities down in SoCal? i have friends who are in pi alpha phi and lambdas...and i know some people who are in the process of pledging...oh man haha...my friend had to shave his head and he looks horrible hahaha...poor thing. and my friend always talks about making pledgers cry...geezus.

[deez nuts]

Tri Delta Delta Delta, how may I help ya, help ya, help ya?

[KonBah]

Most of my boys are in Lambda Phi Epsilon(NY) and my homegirls are in KDPhi and Kappa Phi Lambda and Sigmas.

heh, the asian-interest frats... lambdas and pineapples.

the asian-interest sororities here are sigma kappa chi, chi delta theta, and of course... kappa delta phi (kdphi). kdphi's a national sorority with 30+ something chapters.

but they got some crazy reputations across the board...

if you're really serious, just rush all the sororities and find ones you click with...

as for me, I'm a GDI.

No, not Gamma Delta Iota.

God Damned Independent. ;)

[Green_Jade]

I'm in a co-ed Honor fraternity Phi Sigma Pi..... Not those honor society types with greek letters,..where you get in, and that's it...
We are 1/3 service, 1/3 honor and 1/3 social... all the goodness combined. We are anti-hazing..and dry (aka, we dont drink w/ rushes, or drink at an official event, drink w/ letters...ect)

We are a pretty diverse group, though I'm only the secone asian to join... Others have shown interest, but seems lots of people wern't up for the time committement that goes with the fraternity.

We are one of few organizations on campus that has full hearing/deaf intergration...(my school has 1000 plus deaf students) So.. we are loved by some, hated by others... We dont have recognition from Student Government, because of our GPA requierment..it supposly doesnt allow all student body to join. Which I find pretty amusing, seeing many major/ethnic.ect oriented groups are recognized by SG.... It was probably the other greeks serving SG who were afraid of us.. :lol:

I personally wouldn't join all Asian greek organization... I WANT diversity... One of the reasons I joined was to meet peole in other majors and such, it's very hard to meet ppl out side the major in my school...

Joining a fraternity or Sorority--for the ladies---- is a great way to network.............................If you look in politics and corporate america, you will see that almost all power-players ----Senators, House Reps, Ex-Presidents, CEOs----were all former frat guys or sisters.

yah. i was in the same one as hilary clinton...

or is that something to be proud of? :blink:

[Commando_turned_MD]

KASIA,

I like Hilary!!!!! :P

Did you find this sorority helpful in the advancement of your career?
Or was it a waste of money?

[axi0m]

I dunno what it is, but most sorority girls around here are sluts. There are no AA frats/sororities around here, so it's 100% white and they just look slutty. I dunno what it is, but I always hear the sorority chicks having sex with the frat guys here. (I live in a frat dorm, but I'm not in a frat.) I know that not all the girls are, but maybe I'm just being stereotypical. :)

I was a Delta Gamma (DG), which is a national sorority and not Asian. While I enjoyed the time I spent in the sorority, I quickly found out that it wasn't for me and I also went GDI. I de-activated after half a year. The girls were very nice and welcoming, but I just felt I spent too much time doing sorority things. All my time was spent with my "sisters" instead of my real friends and that just wasn't acceptable to me. I like being able to choose what to do with my time and I didn't want to spend what little I had in chapter meetings every week.

Karizma, I don't think sororities are for everyone, but you should rush and try it. Rushing does not mean pledging and don't be pressured into it. If you truly don't like any of the groups and didn't feel a connection, you probably won't later on. Sororities tend to be homogenous. I didn't find them stereotypical though. Like all social groups, there are nice people and there are mean ones. :)

[DonDaBomb2]

We got the Lambdas and KDPhi at my school. There's another AA sorority that got started this year but I don't remember the name. Don't know why, but the Lambdas and KDPhi don't seem to get along too well.

LPhiE ... straight thuggin' it
hehe, its funny how the LPhiE and Pi Alpha have a little rivalry going on our campus. I don't think it's anything serious or violent, but they give each other enough trouble I hear.

that's weird, b/c the kdphis are supposed to the sister sorority to the lambda's...so i thought...as the so pi's are to the pineapples.

hm...i don't think that's a fair assertion. i rushed for a sorority in college and got into a huge fight with my bf b/c he thought that all sorority girls-esp. the asian ones-were sluts. i thought that was very unfair. it's a huge generalization...many girls join just for sisterhood and such.

[MikeRulzU]

What do you guys think about fraternities and sororities? Are you guys or were you guys in one?

I'm in Pi Kappa Alpha at the Johns Hopkins University. I am very glad that I decided to go Greek.

[AliBabaIncorporated]

frats at my university can't even throw good parties, and they keep killing people.

[loserbutt]

frats suck.

the girls are shallow and not worth talking to

the guys are shallow and not worth talking to

[TyroneK(prettypretty)]

I'm with loserbutt. It takes an exceptional frat or sorority person to make me feel like my time hasn't been wasted.

[moschikat]

greek row.

*giggles*

i'm sorry, but ASU's got shut down cuz' we had a porn scandal, but hey, it's Greek to me!

:lol:

[VV o n g B a]

well, this kinda thing lends itself to stereotyping. i met some really cool, not shallow frat guys and sorority girls b/f. i've met just the opposite, but u have to try to separate the organization from the person. and this comes from the school that the year b/f had frat guys dress up in blackface and conducted a mock lynching at halloween parties.

[TyroneK(prettypretty)]

I know we're all supposed to be treated like individuals, but these frat and sorority types make it hard for me to distinguish between them personality wise. Unlike race, where there's always someone under that broad category that has had some kind of unique situation that makes them unpredicatble, the frat and sorority people I meet are all mind-numbingly alike. At U.Va, they all wear the same clothes, go to the same crappy parties, make out with the same big-faced, overly made up daughters of the upwardly mobile. I get disgusted and most people don't really do much to discourage it. I meet a cool person on occasion, but they're relatively few and far between.

There are always exceptions I guess, even though there's a reason for these generalizaions. I had two roommates that were ex-frat boys and they weren't too bad at all...of course that begs the question as to why they joined frats in the first place, seeing as how the only two purposes would be to get ass and drink (in order to get more ass). Could it be that frat boys are just guys who aren't ashamed of their primal needs and wants :lol:

[DonDaBomb2]

Joining a frat kinda leaves you open to stereotyping, but not all Greek people are the same. Maybe it's one of those cases where you would see more diversity within the group if you were in it than you do as an outsider looking on.

On a related note, what do you guys think of the Asian frats and sororities?

Same thing 'cept they're Asian? haha I dunno Perhaps it gives people opportunity to get exclusively Asian ass instead of all types of ass (stereotypically, mostly white ass) and maybe drink imported alcohol.

[DonDaBomb2]

I dunno, they don't seem quite the same as the normal Greeks. Maybe it's because their party locations are at clubs instead of frat houses. You've seen KDPhi and the Lambdas hangin' around at UW, haven't you, FrozenPizza? I guess they have their own different Asian Greek stereotype.

Not quite lately....I haven't really been in....Seattle, haha. Probly next year tho.

[DonDaBomb2]

Ah, I thought you transferred already. Oops my bad :)

[KiTTY2babe]

I'm in a sorority. It's been an experience for me.

Movies like Legally Blond make sororities and fraternities seem shallow and pointless. Doesn't echo what goes on in the real world.

[amietron]

I wanna be in a sorority.

[envieone]

frats/sorority you pay to have friends, but that just my opinion :unsure: i wouldn;t know, i;m just a loner..

[amietron]

well, there's also lots of networking.

[kangal]

i'm in a fraternity, and i have to say that what y'all have posted are true; there are the goods and the bads of it; i joined mostly for the aforementioned networking as i had a fairly low perception of the greek system; i still have to say that it was one of my better decisions as i have gotten brothers for life; i thought i would have some problems in being asian, but it was pretty much non-existent as i eventually become the VP; so i have to has the pros and cons of any group...

[lethal]

It never hurts to have lots of contacts, especially after college and you're looking for a job.

[Ayers]

Theta Xi from MIT. Maybe the Greek system is a little different at such a geeky school, but then again a frosh in a fraternity died due to alcohol toxicity.

Ditto what kangal was talking about. Fraternities are a group of 10-100 college-aged, testosterone-raging, guys packed into one tiny 'frat house.' I think given those circumstances, you might expect things to be a lot worse. But they aren't. Many great Americans can be traced to fraternities. blah blah blah.. I was going to get up on my soapbox and preach, but I'm tired and have to get up early. The point is there are idiots all over campus, not just in the fraternities, and there are a lot of great benefits to being in a 'good' fraternity.

"Not only a member, but the (former) president too"

[BaiginLong]

simply not my cup of tea

[teaz0r]

frat boys are great! - when i was in highschool

um. it's all cool i guess, there are some pretty
cool people and there are some pretty stupid
people. same thing applies in non-greek schools.

i think it's great for some people to join the greek
system, cuz they probably benefit from it, like
all the aforementioned perks of belonging to a
chapter.

i'm more into the secret society. :>
i was part of some societies which were
a bit more different, not as traditional as
the greek system.

as for asian greeks:
every single lambda phi boy i have met are ... -_-

[Green_Jade]

I'm in a co-ed honor fraternity..and proud of it. that doesnt mean i agree with the social greek system in whole... some of the ones at my school are good..some..well, yeah, they should take their charter away for the second time.

[BeTheReds]

Fratboys and Sorostitutes...

No never liked them at my school.. even worse that AASU.

SoPi and The Asian male frat..

I don't know again.. they didnt publicize anything on the campus, since they were all about word of mouth.. with the hopes that no whites would find their way there.

[Commando_turned_MD]

GO BETA

[coagulated fat]

I vow to never again date a frat boy EVER
They have huge egos b/c they're around flirty girls all the time so they think they're the shit.

[AngryABCGirl]

I've been flyered by the Davis KDPhis or whatever, the Asian-American soririty. I'm thinking about going to the meeting for the free food since I didn't buy a big enough meal plan.

I think I have half the Christian groups with me on their lists just because I went for food.

[Commando_turned_MD]

Part of the academic experience....

[princess]

i just got word that im supposed to be helping out with the paphi gentlemans rush and winter activities at ucsd this coming quarter, so guys...come and check us out :) haha i know its so early to be thinking about pledging but i had to post before i forgot >_<

[hooligan]

call me stereotypic, but all i see when i look at the sororities and fraternities around ucla are the reminants of the AZN PRYDE kids back from high school. some of them are different, but the lambdas are hardcore AZN. it's kind of silly really, but as long as it floats their boat, it's cool with me.

[princess]

the bros of the sd chapter arent into that "azn pryde" stuff. they look down on people who throw that up. at first i had a negative view of some frats, too, but they broke my stereotypes when i met them. i have fun with the bros 'cause theyve matured past all that stuff.

yeah, i know the lambdas are hardcore like that. a few of my friends and i got picked on by them just for kickin it with their rival frat. i didnt respect their reasons for doing so, but im over it. its their choice.

[hooligan]

the cousin of my roommate my first year was the president of the lambda's in ucsd. this was 4 years ago, some korean guy :) i never did catch his name. yeah, but they're not all bad. :) it's just something i've noticed.

[coagulated fat]

dw, that really sucks... I think a big part of sorority rush is trying to create an artificial friendship. You can't have the same bond with a "sister" that you met two weeks ago that you have with a person you grew up with for how many years, but some people tend to forget that because the sorority is supposed to be your life. It's a sad thing.

[mr. x]

what fat said dw

look at it this way, she wanted something bigger and better and when its all over she'll ditch sorority and go for whatevers the next big catch, whether it be the rich dude who treats her like a trophy wife or whatever. shell always look for a new "best friend"

[moJo]

oh, i couldn't stand the frats and sororities at ucla. they thought they were soooo hotshit. oh, i'm referring to the greek system. the asian ones seems less stuck-up, but it looked like they partied just as hard. i went to a Pineapple party once at Cal. Definitely some cute guys there...

i have a somewhat first-hand info about Lambda Chi (geez, i can't even remember anymore) frat, considering I made the horrible mistake of living in their frat house for an entire summer. disclaimer: i didn't know squat about the greeks beforehand, except for my observations. so anyway, my friend convinced me that it was a good idea because it rent was dirt-cheap (it was - $700 for three months), and there would be other girls renting, too, and a lot of the brothers wouldn't be around. okay.

i did have a girl roommate. she was nice, a goody-two-shoes type during the day, and partied hard at night. and my friend (the one with this brilliant idea) lived a few rooms down.

^those are the only non-negative things i have to say about this living situation. the day i move in, there was cat shit on the floor of my room. and no, the frat boys didn't all go home for the summer. at least half of them stuck around. wonderful. the other girls who moved in...were pretty typical party chicks who flirted endlessly with the fratboys, and probably did more than that. i think i was the only asian person in the whole damn house, aside from my friend, who's hapa, but at first glance, looks like a white guy. i frequently walked in on guys peeing in the urinals in the "girls" bathroom. ants proliferated everywhere, especially the bathrooms because people threw their food away in there. bongs and beer cans/bottles were everywhere 24/7. everything was just filthy, every freakin' day, except Fridays, when a cleaning crew came. but by friday evening, it was a shithole once again.

one of my friends took pity on me and let me (and my other friend) stay at her apartment for three weeks while she came bacy to SF to visit. that was a Godsend.

a year later, that frat got shut down and lost its charter for 4 years due to "alcohol violations".

and that is why i hate fraternities. sorry for the rant.

[hooligan]

Lambda Chi.
is that one of them on gayley?

my friend did that too, but she had a descent experience because i think she was one of the girls who likes to frequent frat parties. haha, i would NEVER live in a frat house during the summer. jeez that's just scary, i sublet off of friends. :D

[Emperor_Mike]

We don't have fraternities or sororities in the UK. There are social clubs that might be similar, however. The one I belong to is called the "Order of the Robe and Gavel" (OotRaG) and it's very exclusionary in its membership to the point of underscoring the stereotype of English snobbiness.

No hazing rituals to be had, but before joining you have to "prove" that you're an individual of "exceptional quality." Officially, the criteria for joining is pretty member-friendly with a checklist that includes things like being well-rounded in sports, academics, and the like. Unofficially, however, one of the society's other requirements seem to be centred upon having loads of money. They way they get around not advertising this in broad daylight would be to hold expensive social events for prospective members. If you can attend them all and if you satisfy the criteria, then you're in.

Naturally, the University doesn't condone clubs and societies that discriminate, but I think the OotRaG hides the fact that it's elitist well enough to avoid detection. If prospective members cannot pay to attend the events, OotRaG can say that they're not "social enough" to be part of the Society. Under normal circumstances, I'd tell organisations like these to go to hell, but the networking and connections I've made so far are simply to good to give up.

Technically, I'm not supposed to say anything about OotRaG, but this being the Internet (and I'm in Canada! Haha!) I really don't care. :biggrin:

are you talking about Lamda Phi Epsilon?

Hahaha... i rushed pineapple (pi alpha phi) at cal and got a bid, but backed out cause i didn't want to be labeled a frat guy. i only went cause my older HS friend was in it. it was fun, and it was what it was. i don't ever bash frat guys or sorority girls.

an asian frat at Cal lost their charter (AKL) too but was reincarnated as AXiO.

[moJo]

Is Lamda Phi Epsilon the asian frat that people refer to as "Lambdas"? I'm referring to Lamda Chi Something, which is greek, and gets shortened to "Lambda Chi". I think there was one asian brother, but he didn't live there, at least not that summer.

[teaz0r]

robert pike was in it. he won't
tell me anything about it though.

Lamda Phi Epsilon is the Asian frat.

Labda Chi is Greek, as in REALLY (ethnic) Greek? Not just a "Greek" (fraternity and sorority system)? I didn't know it was ethnic Greek, but either way, I think that one is Lambda Chi Alpha.

Yep, Lambda Chi Alpha is the one I lived at (forgot the "alpha"). And no, hehe, it's not ethnically Greek; it's part of the greek system. I just say "greek" instead of "white" because some of the greek frats seemed to have some diversity, while others were whiter than white.

[Sledge]

We've got Greeks here at Brown, and they generally deserve the reputations attached to them. I live in a program house, which is similar (students with a common interest living together) but less evil (drinking and fucking don't count).

Then again, the program house I'm in is called Art House. So I guess drinking and fucking DO count. Oh, well.

There are a couple of really cool frats, though, and I've heard of some pretty impressive ones on other campuses.

[mr. x]

can someone explain to me WHY fraternities have the pretentious notion of being in any way connected to the greeks?

i know the greeks partied hard back in the day (and maybe still do) when Zeus was in charge but what the hell does "biff" and his "panty-raiding boys" have to do with Alpha Beta Gamma?

a phi o. i actually paid like $40 for membership, but decided i couldn't do it. i dunno about other chapters (well, my friend was in it at Davis, and she's not geeky), but the one at my school was supremely dorky. or geeky. whatever.

the frats and sororities that MTV picks are ones that aren't national organizations, like Tri-Delt or Sigma Chi. they exist only at that university, or something. so i guess they're not "attractive" cuz those are relatively new and unknown. not the typically "cool" frats/sororities that most pledges make a beeline for. (one of my friends told me all this. he knows one of the doofus pledges on the most recent Frat Life, who ridiculed the whole thing afterwards.)

dance majors!!

Maybe it's just lame here, but I don't think you can major in dance at my school.

you can at ucla, but the hottest girls i think are actually in the asian am department.

why do you think we were always lounging around the law school and the business school.

although i do have to say, there were a couple of hot med school chicks that i've met. one of them was featured in the new yorker magazine, she was a socialite or something.

in general not counting Ph.D programs, from my encounters with advanced degrees here in ny, the order and degree of hot chicks went, from least hot to most hot: 1)Medicine 2)Law 3)MBA

the same order applied to guys as well.

and frats, no thanks

though i did bang a few sorority chicks here and there.

That is the biggest load of crap that you've pinched out onto these boards so far, Kasie.

Frats are lame. They should be banned and replaced with roving gangs of thugs.

[John0101]

Frats/Sororities are just another name for a gang.

Both have hazing, rituals, colors, "brotherhood" or "sisterhood".

[artsfartsyjanet]

there is no asian sorority or fraternity at SLU where i attend. The people I met in the sororities and fraternities were really nice and approachable, but there are always bad apples in a group. i've met a few of them too. I'm a really practical person, and i just couldn't see myself paying at least $700 a year to be in a sorority. My former roommate was an internal social chair of her sorority kappa delta. she was always swamped with phone calls, and she had a shrine full of frames and plastic glasses with greek letters, and pics of her sisters. Some of the sisters treated her well but others did not. I was only in a "volunteer" coed fraternity called Alpha Phi Omega. I was in it for 3 years, but I hardly paid for the dues. ehehhehe... because what i wanted was to volunteer-- not pay for the organization's operational costs. I decided to just make friends on my own and ultimately I led the asian organization at my school for 3 years and coordinated volunteer projects as part of the organization's mission. i think i'm born to rebel. lol.

[dorkus malorkus]

I am part of Alpha Phi Omega, a multicutural co-ed service fraternity. We do a lot of community service on campus and in the community. One of the great things I've done in college.

As for social sororities , I've done my share. Will not name any but it was the worst experience I had. It can be degrading to oneself. It sure was for me.

[hooligan]

so many a phi o people, my roommates in that frasority.

can someone explain to me WHY fraternities have the pretentious notion of being in any way connected to the greeks?

i know the greeks partied hard back in the day (and maybe still do) when Zeus was in charge but what the hell does "biff" and his "panty-raiding boys" have to do with Alpha Beta Gamma?

they use Greek letters not because they feel that they are connected to the Greeks in Greece but because the very first fraternity ever created in the U.S. was a a bunch of male university students who wanted to create a secret society where they can debate and discuss freely about matters that upset them at the school..so to keep it secret they chose Greek letters to represent their society..not sure how accurate this is but i read this in an article some where about the history of the first fraterntiy.
