Actually, I'm not sure. The first time in 79-80 it was drugs, then the national fraternity reorganized it and I was in the 2nd pledge class in '81. We were small, mostly independent study, commercial engineering and ROTC guys with a few other odds and ends. We really didn't get what fraternities were all about, so we just drank a lot and held some very loud parties in the basement of our tiny house. A lot of the row houses did not like to admit we were the place the girls went to when they left their parties. I think it was Jan-Feb 83 that we lived at one particular bar on the strip for nearly 60 days straight. It was not good. We peaked with an annual party we threw for the presidents of the sororities. Drunk, half naked sorority girls are fun, but people tend to complain when the party kicks off at sunrise on a Sunday morning and people are throwing up by 8.

Anyway, that got us the visit by the Dean and we decided to act sober for a while. At one point after that we led the university in GPA and had the student body president as well as the commander of the ROTC Ranger battalion in the house. We were definitely not the life blood of the university but we tried to be connected.

When I graduated in '85 things were a little quieter but they picked back up later. The last time I saw the house was in '92 when I came in for a game. After that, I don't think I came back until 2005 when I dropped my daughter off for her freshman year. The house was gone and I heard they were finally booted for good in the mid-90s. Never got that story straight so can't give any details.

Thank you for the info. I'm an alum at the university of north Florida chapter 151. We recently had a member review because one of our dumb members posted a picture of a pot plant on some website called 4 chan or something rather. Internationals thought we had a drug problem and kicked any and everyone off that had a hint of negative. Gpa wasnt above 3.0 you were booted. People that run it right now over react, lack common sense and does not support the smaller chapters AT ALL. They told us to handle it in house to we took it as an opportunity to "build better men" and banned him from events, positions, voting, and required he participated in all the stupid crap for a calendar year on top of changing his lifestyle with a no tolerance clause. Internationals then changed their mind about the "handle it in house" method and kicked all but 5 guys out. I was alum a semester before the review lol. Winning!!

I'm in a professional business fraternity. I usually do not associate it with "Greek life" even though we use Greek letters. The similarities end right around there.

When I was in POTSMB, I had some friends in one of the business fraternities. Some of the stories they'd tell - especially where regional meetings were involved - made the pep band sound like a bunch of lightweights when it came to drinking.

I definitely didn't mean to say professional fraternities are like the social Greeks but without a house, but I also couldn't help but notice they also seemed to know how to party as well.

The regional stuff does get pretty wild, but generally, we may have parties once a month. Kappa Sig (which my apartment looks over) seems to have parties three times a week.

Frats, please. Bunch of rich momma's boys; never had a problem with them until I got out of the USMC and went to college myself. I was training for Afghanistan at 18-19, they have no clue about the real world.

Thanks for your service but I was never a "rich momma's boy". Paid my own way through school and fraternity dues.

I have a friend who has a son that pledged, I was just wondering who is the best. The only, yes only thing that matters is who has the best looking women walking in their house.

Thank you.

That’s fine, but most of the ones I encountered were privileged.

Not to go over the deep end but a sore topic for me, kind of a hard transition from the Marines to College, especially for a poor kid.

I am a Phi Delt and the chapter came back in 2001. We were first given that house by Presidential, but now have a huge one down near Terrace Avenue.

Advice for OP--The strength of different fraternities goes in waves. Selecting a fraternity on the upswing is the key to having a good experience. Being a part of building something is more meaningful than something that is going to crap.

Phi Delt was Baylor/McCallie/Father Ryan/Brentwood/Brentwood Academy/Chritian Brothers/Germantown/ the newer Germantown school/one from MUS/and a few from ECS when I was there. Most of the SAE's were from Memphis.

I guess especially when you're getting shot at in Afghanistan and then you come home and go to college with popped-collar little pricks whose only worry is what the next app is they are going to download on their IPhone.

Advantages like getting staph infections from being forced to crawl around your dirty basement with bottle caps on your knees and elbows?

lol, I realize every Frat boy is not privileged or a momma's boy but to say it is the lifeblood of a university is asinine.
