re: Update: Ten LSU Phi Delta Theta Members Arrested By LSUPD Following Hazing Death

I never met any Greek that wouldn’t hang out with someone just because they weren’t in the frat.

They excluded me because I didn’t want to pay a fee to hang out with them

That's not how it works. Just saying.

You don't pay any fees to hang out. We had many dudes who were constantly at our house and weren't brothers. They just became good friends with the guys and were always at our parties. Never rushed. Never pledged.

You can't pay money to make people like you. You can't pay money to get a bid. If you hang out and are liked, you will get rushed. Then if you are still liked, you'll get bid. If you accept the bid, you can pledge. There's no money that's been exchanged at this point, and it's predicated on the idea that you are someone that people like. If you are well liked and visit multiple houses, you'll get multiple bids and YOU get to decide which group (fraternity) you'd like to pledge (which group of guys you like the most).

We had guys who went through the whole process and never pledged and ended up being friendly with us all through school. It's not for everyone. But it is a good way to meet people. Especially girls. If you're into that sort of thing.
