re: Phi Psi at LSU suspended

And that is fantastic and that is the way it is suppose to be. I hope and pray a love one of yours does not have to go through what Max’s parents went through. To see it first hand from the knowing the guy and having it still portray itself afterwards is gut wrenching.

Lol if you think that you weren’t good enough to get in

I was from a small town, naturally introverted, and didn't know anybody on a big campus. Call it renting friends, but it was a way of plugging into a social network that would have been difficult for me to do on my own. Going through Rush was playing against type for me, but I didn't want to end up sitting in my dorm room for four years. There were some good and bad things about it, but on balance it was a net positive.

The drug thing is very different from when I was in. We all drank, some of us abused alcohol, and there was more than one legit alcoholic, but anything more than weed was very frowned on as trashy and low rent. If you did it you didn't talk about it and you kept it far away from the house.

As you speak of something you do not know of She told all of you many posts above that she did not even proceed to Bid Day but yet everyone is trying to put her story together. Take your own advice and stop trying to piece together this woman’s story.

I can see why you decided not to join. They try to assume shite about you then try to push some bs advice upon you that they do not even follow.

Moral Objection is exactly what it sounds like: Someone objected because her morals were questionable. In my day that could be anything from having an STD, sleeping around, fighting, drugs, etc. We were no angels and to be honest, only one person I know of was MO’ed during my tenure.

You really have issues with reading comprehension.

I went through Sorority Rush, only to drop out before Bid Day. I was in the dorm a week before everyone else, met some girls who pledged or not and made lifelong friends.

I have 3 sisters that pledged the same sorority but not at LSU. 1 of the 3 quit. It wasn't for her and wasn't for me.

I was 18 years old, 13 years of Catholic school, first time away from home and inexperienced in every aspect of life and you're trying to put "sleeping around" and lack of morals on me????

Hahahahaha... you're so off base, it would be like putting all Texas fans and band on the levee when the game is in Tiger Stadium.

I'll be like Mr. Wonderful on Shark Tank and call you out for the cockroach that you are.

Have a nice day.

The top tier frats looked fin with the social events . But they wouldn't have taken my carribean arse. Very expensive .

Jeez. No wonder you didn’t get a bid. Very unbecoming.

Do all of y'all suffer from lack of reading comprehension?

I didn't get a bid because I dropped out of rush before bid day. I don't think I went through 3 full days of rush. It wasn't my thing.

How hard is that for your pointed little head to understand?

I think it’s pretty obvious why it wasn’t your thing. Sorority girls have a certain level of class and decorum.

Enjoy your skoal and lifted truck, though.

I guess you thought that was funny in your head. Maybe you need to stop being a mountain person and rejoin society.

I don't smoke, dip, rarely drink, and drive a turbo charged sedan. Trucks aren't my thing either, for me or my SO.

Read that again. "Their" is towards someone, NOT about themselves. Sororities did the whole rush/bid day but there was no formal process for the fraternities. Someone from my hometown joined during summer and it was a pretty easy decision for me after one serious incident. Fraternities generally are connected with sororities. A few of them came over to the house nightly before bid day. The night before I received and accepted my bid, one of those rushing the sorority became intoxicated and was dragged inside by the degenerate members of the fraternity next door. Long story short the actives flowed from one house to the other and got her out of there. It made the decision the next night very easy.

So as pointed out by others, there are bad apples. We had 2 guys deactivated the previous spring for taking a forklift from a construction site and using it to destroy SAE's concrete lions. (No they were not the degenerate neighbors mentioned above.) And as pledges we did do some really stupid things when we took the actives to a new casino the weekend before initiation.

Society has gotten softer with each generation. I couldn't dream of getting away with what my dad did at that age and I don't think my kids could do half the stuff I did in college. But what has gotten worse is the number of times a kid has lost their life because of their decision to drink beyond excess. Nobody condones that and no chapter should escape punishment for anything approaching FORCING their pledges to drink beyond excess.

This thread actually brought a lot of this back to my mind and I had a productive conversation with my teenager this morning. He already knows better than to drink to excess but part of that is about beer not being treated as a big deal in our home. The way kids are brought up is a factor. "Taboo Vices" are always going to be something kids seek the first chance they get. Some may disagree but taking the impression of alcohol being a "forbidden fruit" away is going to do kids from going overboard the first few weeks they have access to it on their own.
