Going Greek

My roommate and like two other of my best friends are pledging a fraternity. I've gone to a few of their parties. It's just free beer, people getting drunk, and lots of smoking. I'm not anti-alchohol, but like, there had better be a point other than getting totally wasted and acting like an idiot like I've seen a few too many people do.

It does seem to provide a solid social core, but I'm not sure how most fraternities/sororities treat those outside. I think I'll just stay outside the Greek system for now.

Well.. my campus is dry.. and even though we -do- host the Kilt Kegger (which is the biggest campus party from what I've heard).. members of the social club cannot drink at the event. I'm anti-boozehound so yeah.. this works well for me. At least now I have a valid excuse for why I'm not drinking.

My nickname on my hall is the frumpy grandma.. sad.gif

I'm anti-social. I hate those frat/sor type of organizations. We don't have anything like that in dear Mexico so I was supprised by the things they do. All of my friends are in Mexico. It's strange since I feel that I should be in my town's TI, but ended up in UT Brownsville.

But seriously, I was the kind of guy that would get beat up by those frat boys, except that I was only punched once and it was a sucker punch. I feel like some of these guys know me and I'm afraid it will be all highschool again. The bad parts.

Gah... time to go to class

Ah.. that reminds me of why I didn't go to a community college... where everyone already knew me.

There is only one girl that went to my school here and we hate each other with a passion. (Like the I'm going to claw your eyes out passion) So just ignore the few that do know you. It's rather easy to do on campus and mine is really really small so even if yours is the same size as mine or bigger it's doable.

If they try something, stand up for yourself. It can either go two ways, theyll either see that youre not standing for it or get worse. If you do nothing, it will just get worse.

Your advice back. tongue.gif

When I stood up I got a lip busted and my teeth almost fell. The guy just ran out of school. Mind this was just a couple of months before graduating and the annoyances were little more than 3 months old. I was too much into my girlfriend to actually care about those guys, but when I did care the bastard punched me. I just feel sorry for him because right now I know that when he punched me, her 16 year old girlfriend got pregnant and she was living with him. So he's pretty much screwed.

Either way, the people that could know me in this college are a bunch of mexican rich guys. It's really rare to see Mexicans in this school unless you drive 04-06 expensive trucks and your parents are rich as hell. Bunch of preppy guys. I'm more of the 'hood' so to speak. Very indie. I usually don't see anyone I don't wanna see so I don't have any problems. If I do, well, I could pretty much file a suit for harrasement and they would be out of college. ninja.gif

Yeah campus is big. Very pretty wub.gif I can avoid them and probably will once I get out of these pesky basics I have to finish.

I'm in Calculus one and haven't started on Physics. FFS my girlfriend's already taking thermodynamics.

USA school system sucks, but that's a rant for another time

Duck? tongue.gif

No, Im kidding. Ducking would help though. Bullies hardly go far in life.

Wait, what part of Sucker punching is able to be ducked? huh.gif

That's like, "you should've dodge that Cudgel tongue.gif ". It's really hard to duck something when you don't see it comming.

I love my campus... even though it's so small I can easily avoid/hide from the people I don't want to see. Even if they live on my hall!

It's also very easy to find the people you do wanna see.. wub.gif


I just went out with my pledge sisters and we got stared at so bad.. We look like a gang... biggrin.gif
Narses2006-09-20 22:29:37
we really don't have these things over here... not sure if it's a loss or not chin.gif

well, have fun!

And here I thought going greek was another way to say walking around with no undies on (i've heard it before i swear)

And then you say your wearing a kilt......
Sylphas2006-09-20 23:44:15
My kilt chafes after a while if I don't have boxers on. sad.gif
Joli2006-09-21 00:47:41
We have to where little shorts under our kilts because people will flip them up.

Sylphas.. Pictures. Now. wub.gif
Veonira2006-09-21 01:42:28
Well it's not like it was hidden. But of course I didn't say anything tongue.gif

I'll have to find someone with a digital camera. And then shave, because I look like a hairy ape who happens to have a pierced eyebrow. sad.gif

Ah, now I remember why I married you. -rubs up against the furry-

and yes, before anyone says anything, I'm JOKING.

We have the Queer Collective, and I guess if I felt like I needed more gay friends or needed to resolve some issues I'd go along to it...but no.

Other than that we just have different themed social clubs.
