Wasnt an OD like some are saying, it was hazing / alcohol related from what I heard. Police have confiscated a bunch of phones and there are going to be some frat bros in trouble on this one.

Kendall's funeral was today in Metairie at St. Catherine of Siena.

Haven't heard anything about the male student's condition or anything else related to the alleged hazing.

No need for paid friends


This is such a bullshite comment usually made by those who couldn't get a bid on the best day of their life. Connections are a huge thing. Our house had US Senators and other politicians back for homecomings (and on other weekends.) We routinely had BB players at our parties and again with connections in the box office we sat courtside right behind the cheerleaders (who always ended up at our after parties.) We also did a fair amount of philanthropy in the community.

We made connections, got special treatment, had access to a filing cabinet of past tests for most core courses/instructors, and had a ton of fun for our money. People like you have to spend that $$$ & time currency just to make the connections that are "baked in" to the Greek system.

So no, joining a fraternity is not about buying friends. It's about making friends and connections while having a shitload of fun. Sorry you didn't make the cut.

Wish there was a way to fix the drug culture in college


I went to college as what is known now as a straight edge kid. Within 2 months I was drinking beer. Within 4 months I was hooking up with randoms, and about a year in I had the munchies a few nights a week. Nothing was forced in me. In fact I wasn't part of the group that left the house to get high at first. To each his own but if pledges are ODing on the hard stuff I suspect they already had issues before coming on campus.

Some of us chose not to continue rush pre-bid day. I was a sorority legacy and chose not to be in the rent a friend club.

Edited to add: Greek life isn't for everybody. The guy I was dating for 2 1/2 years did a 180 in how he acted, treated me, etc. after he pledged a fraternity. One of his co-pledges/future roommate was such an a-hole to me, if I ever saw him again, I think I'd kick him in the balls.

Or some of us that decided not to even rush in the first place because we did not care to join are becoming pissed off at Greek Life making our school look like shite on National News. I decided not to rush and I had above a 4.0, still went to parties, had plenty of friends, and networked with many great folks. The older I become, the more useless I see fraternities and sororities. They have become a huge eye sore on campus (at LSU at least) and seem to cause more trouble than anything. You do a “ton” for the community.....cool. So does every church group out there and they are not killing kids in the process.

Edit: If bid day was the best day of your life, I feel sorry for you

I got three bids.



Decided i had more fun hanging out with the rugby team.

better parties, just as hot-if not hotter- girls, and no dues.


Outside of mikelbr, those rugby guys are doing pretty damn well without needing your "connections".

Sounds to me like you got a Moral Objection and the sorority had to call your mom and tell her why you were cut.

When someone is as bitter as you seem to be, there is an underlying reason why.

Did you not bother to read her last two sentences? Surprise surprise she was treated poorly by a couple frat cucks. The main reason why GDIs do not care for Greek Life.

im going to need you to elaborate.


Is she morally objecting, or did the sorority dump her for a reason of "Moral Objection"?

If the latter: what is that?


I was executive chef at an LSU sorority for 3 years. After what i heard and witnessed, id love to know what they object to morally.

WTF are you talking about?

I thought I made it clear that I didn't hang until Bid Day. I decided that I didn't want sorority life.

As stated before, Greek life isn't for everyone. I chose not to pursue it.

Aww come on. We were just teasing with you but you never lightened up.

We know not everyone could afford the rush outfits and you dropped out when it became apparent you were in the C-team PNM room in the Philanthropy round.

It’s ok. But you need to let it go.

Why can’t they just not haze? I realize most of the frat gheys on this board went through hazing and consider it a rite of passage, but times have changed. Just don’t do it. It’s simple.

All of you independents that bash the fraternity/ sorority system is like people who say cops are bad! There are bad apples in all walks of life.

Don’t complain about, playing sports, or being in the Boy Scouts, Don’t complain that private schools give a better education than a public school. Don’t complain that you don’t ride in Mardi Gras parades and stand on the street. Don’t complain that you are not involved in your local community. Let’s not run for office either this small selective group that makes decisions. Let’s join antifa/ BLM. There are groups, organizations, society, social groups that are at all levels of life.

Yes, one group during adolescence happens in college. Peer pressure, power trips, ego’s, Making decisions on your own for the first time while in college is happening. People make bad decisions all through life and most of the time it’s during this time.

For all you independents. It’s not the gun killing people, it’s the person pulling the trigger. That is your decision that that you made not to join and that’s great! However, don’t knock those who found a group of guys that share similar values where your money goes to help functions, events, and being a member. Just like being a member of a Mardi Gras group or any other organization that may interest you. People make bad decisions all the time.

Obviously cancel culture and the whiners are in full force here, move on in life and STFU as you complain about anything and everything while bashing others because you are on higher moral ground with just an OPINION with something you chose not to be part of.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I dropped out because sorority life wasn't for me.

Who is "we"? Are you schizophrenic?

I totally agree with you that there are bad apples in some of the groups you mentioned. If you take a step back and look at LSU Greek Life in the few previous years, it seems there have been more “bad apples” than good ones. Ok the university says no more hazing and are becoming more strict on it, just follow the damn rules. Keep LSU out of National News for stupid shite that can be avoided. It’s not like Greek Life is blind to this either. It’s in front of their face!!! LSU now requires every club on campus to take a hazing course to be part of the club due to Greek Life actions. Greek Life knows the University is going to be hard on them so why not just follow the rules.



You bring up ANTIFA but the correlation is the exact same (ANTIFA on a much extreme scale of course). You think people inside ANTIFA think they are doing wrong? Absolutely not! Just like people in Greek Life think it’s just the bad apples until they become the bad apples. There needs to be much more aggressive punishments than what the university is doing now to stop these things from happening because what they are doing now has not helped the situation. I believe and was raised that you hold others around you (and in your group) responsible for their actions because those you hang around have a direct reflection on you. Should I think Greek Life should be banned until they straighten out? Sure why not. These kids have to learn that there are consequences for their actions and for their groups actions. Hold others responsible. That is the main problem I have with Greek Life at the moment (at LSU at least) and I know for a fact many others believe the same.
