The fact that you went to Ole Miss and say this tells me you were a complete loser in college.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

My son is looking to maybe join one so just trying to get some info on how it all works(and I understand some do not like them and will say don't join, I get it). For those who have been in one at LSU or had a kid in one, can you give me some scoop on how it works as far as rush goes and how do they offer you spots, the process etc.? Also what is the typical cost to join if you are not living in the house and other costs during the year(trying to get an overall cost for a semester or year). Also which ones would you recommend or not recommend?

1. Whats his pull to chill ration?
2. It costs about tree fitty
3. I recommend KA if he likes to have secks with females and Kappa Sig if he likes to have sex with males.

He should have registered early in the summer & gotten the Greek Tiger magazine with all the details.

This will answer your questions.
The Greek Tiger

Well, maybe not all your questions. Go old row.

quote:give me some scoop on how it works as far as rush goes and how do they offer you spots You sign up for rush. During rush you get in groups of 20 or so and visit all the houses. After this you narrow down your choices. The fraternities also narrow down their lists. Then you go back to the ones where you've "matched." Then you either get a bid from those or you don't. Then you pick your choice, on bid day. quote:Also what is the typical cost to join if you are not living in the house This varies wildly. You'll probably at least have to buy a dinner meal plan - his LSU meal plan will transfer over to defer the costs. Figure around $1k/semester. quote:Also which ones would you recommend or not recommend? Leave this entirely to your son. Don't listen to anyone here or anywhere else. The quality of the fraternity depends on its current members, just like the LSU football team. A great fraternity one year could be absolutely awful a few years later.

Gary has actually got this pretty spot on.

Also what is the typical cost to join

About the price of a pair of Sperrys, a few pairs of 5 inch inseam khaki shorts (no cargos for the love of God!), a half dozen Southern Marsh shirts, a pair of Costas, and a visor. Oh and of course a solid NorthFace backpack to carry everything to class.

Kappa Sig

Sigma chi

Just make sure he doesn't quit half way through and rat to that frick boy Sanders.

For everyone that said something stupid, please sear the above post into your little lady cream pea sized brains, as that's how you answer a question from a poster with 200 ish post that asked a question regarding the future social welfare of his son.

I realize this is the OT, and that anyone that enters should never ask a question, as everyone here is an effing genius that never has to ask a question about anything, and by no means would any regular poster in this forum ever father a son that wasn't already given, before he enrolled, a bid by the top 5 houses on every campus in the Southeast, as all of your sons will, by the 10th grade, be legendarily good looking, smooth, well endowed, combo high school All State QB's/valedictorians, suave, debonair, and possess the ability to talk any female from the the finest of Bocage MILF to any old row sorority girl out of some poon while leaping tall buildings with a single bound after chugging half a bottle of crown out the bottle.

The rest of us though need a little help in figuring things out from time to time.
