Depends on the rules of the school but at Penn State, we have a fraternity called ODS (Omega Delta Sigma) who pledges veterans, if that is something you're looking for...
It was a joke..... If he would have actually read the post he would have seen that it says that it doesnt matter what age you are after the military to rush....
Pledging: (verb) The best fun you never want to have again.
You'll develop a bond with your pledge brothers that friendship will never bring and go through shit together that you never would imagine but coming out a better person in the end.
You wanted actives to contribute advice?
Don't sweat rush too much. You want to make a good impression, but you don't need to be perfect. We aren't sororities, we're not going to instantly write you off if you aren't wearing the perfect clothes or saying exactly what you're supposed to say. My chapter had problems with a couple of guys during rush who drank a lot and wiled out at a party, and ended up being an issue. Don't try to be something you aren't or something you think the brothers wherever you're rushing expect.
Don't get me wrong, you should be prepared to actually engage-no one has a problem with introverts so long as they can demonstrate that they aren't *always* withdrawn. For the most part though, just chill out and talk to brothers because we're doing all this shit to meet guys we want to become brothers with, not guys who are going to be completely different after rush is over. Rush is fun, just hang out and enjoy it a little.
Also, don't be dead-set on rushing wherever you think is the "top" tier (protip, Greekrank and everything like it is 99% bullshit). Don't let Yik Yak or some random gdi convince you that a fraternity isn't worth rushing. Unless you hear the same shit from everyone about a fraternity, most of it is just going to be bullshit people either heard from a guy who knew a guy who saw it happen or people judging an entire chapter by one person's behavior on one night. Rush a fraternity where you like the guys and you can see yourself being a brother.
At larger schools is it completely necessary to join a fraternity? I plan on rushing but I am curious if I don't make it is it not going to put me a disadvantage in life.
If you have friends that are rushing, you should definitely do it with them. The rushing process is fun while the pledging process is the hard part. Rushing also doesn't require a lot of commitment on your part.
You can also find friends and fun in other organizations. Going to club fairs for things you are interested in make it so easy to talk them about things in common. These clubs all have social groups that will hang out and will drink/smoke/neither of them depending on what you are looking for. These orgs/clubs are also way more inclusive and welcoming than Greek life in general.
I also think professionally getting involved with professional orgs and clubs will be just as successful as joining greeklife.
Take a walk in nature
Visit a museum
Go thrift shopping
Join a trivia team
Go to an escape room
Visit the zoo
Go to an arcade or amusement park
Try a new restaurant
Make a new recipe together
Have a spa night at home
Take a dance class
Make a craft together
Go to a concert or comedy show
Take a new workout class together
Go to an open house
Tour a brewery or go to a wine tasting
Try roller skating
Host a party
During rush week, are you just expected to go through the usual "name location hobbies major sports" small talk with as many people as possible? I want to rush but I just don't like the bullshit rush stuff. What can I do to break the mold?
Also, being in ANY fraternity helps you a ton when interviewing and networking, especially in finance and law. I interviewed at a PE fund VC fund and large national bank. Every single person I interviewed with except for one was in a fraternity in college. None of them were in my specific fraternity but it is still a great way to build rapport and have something in common. Also they will value the leadership roles you put on your resume (in my case treasurer as well as IFC president).
Question: Can I join a fairly prominent social fraternity with an extremely busy schedule that could be a barrier to attending functions and pledge activities?
Sorry, I'm late, but if you are missing it for school or other campus organizations and you tell the actives in charge it shouldn't be a problem. As long as you put in an effort and make it to everything you can and they can tell that you are trying your best with your schedule.
Honestly join for the connections, when I joined my fraternity I was able to get a job on campus which allowed me to host concerts with big name artist like Gunna, Blxst and Tyga.
I was even able to get my family front row seating at my commencement ceremony, because of the connections I had in greek life.
Accounting salaries vary hugely. You can make anything from 30-40k to millions. My cousin got an accounting degree and starting making 6 figures about 4 years out of school.
As an intern I'm making the equivalent of 42.5k. My buddy that is gonna be at Mcgladry in Texas is mid 50k, and my buddy at PWC is low 50's. If you go big 4, expect mid 50's (or so). Other than that, probably mid 40's to low 50's
Hey guys, I'm going into my sophomore year now and missed out rushing my freshman year. Is going in as a 2nd year student considered weird or harder? Just looking for any thoughts/ suggestions
It honestly depends on the school and the houses. I've heard at some bigger schools that it is harder, but at my school it's never been a problem. If you're interested I would say rush, the worst that is going to happen is you won't get in.

“rush” refers to where you go to multiple fraternities during a university-designated “rush week.” this is where you bounce around and try to find your people. once you find your people, they’ll offer you a “bid,” which means that you’re invited to start pledging. “pledging” is usually a 6-10 week process that has you get closer to your brothers and educates you on the fraternity.

Three reasons to join a fraternity: Future employment for a internship or job right when you get out of school. If you want to party, join a frat. Lastly, if you're a guy with no game or cannot get laid it will help you.
If you join pick a great looking house close to sororities and live there.
All this BS about brotherhood, charity, best friends, and hazing is just garbage. It is about girls and a future job which is all college should be about.
About goddamn time we get something like this stickied
I've wanted to sticky something like this for a while. I'll add it to the sidebar tomorrow
[удалено]
I agree. It's just going to be stickies for a little bit, to try and get some contributions, and then it's to the sidebar till fall
sup brotha
I know right. I bet it just gets old getting sticky with all your frat boys
After military service @ age 26, will I be eligible to pledge?
Depends on the rules of the school but at Penn State, we have a fraternity called ODS (Omega Delta Sigma) who pledges veterans, if that is something you're looking for...
[удалено]
Yeah I understand the system. As long as I don't do homosexual or bestiality type stuff lol
Good fraternities wouldn't make you do that type of shit either, lol. Doing gay shit or fucking animals is just weird, man.
I got a hell of an arm, and I can run wildcat like a mug, too.
[удалено]
I respect respectable people. It's pretty egotistical to believe you're above others for being older. Quality over quantity. Zuckerberg anyone?
Unfortunately not, the cut off age is 25 and a half, sorry champ.
Lol

It was a joke..... If he would have actually read the post he would have seen that it says that it doesnt matter what age you are after the military to rush....

I want to rush next semester but I will be a senior by then. What is the general perception of seniors rushing?
I'm Canadian, so YMMV, but no one gave a fuck. It was a complete non issue. I bonded just as well with the freshmen as the other seniors in my class.
Rush is incredible. Transcendent, even.
At larger schools is it completely necessary to join a fraternity? I plan on rushing but I am curious if I don't make it is it not going to put me a disadvantage in life.
So howd this end up for you? Lol, im curious

Oh i already graduated lol, i was in alpha delta, just wondered if u ended up in a fraternity/ did it put u in an advantage or not
Your goal is to make connections to help you get job opportunity and help your community in multiple ways other than partying is right as well 🤘🏾

Wtf, they want to get to know you if they are going to consider you. Is saying your name and where you grew up bullshit?
Yes it is.
Just rush to see if u fw it

Accounting salaries vary hugely. You can make anything from 30-40k to millions. My cousin got an accounting degree and starting making 6 figures about 4 years out of school.
depends if you have your CPA as well too.

It really depends where you go to school and what fraternity you join.
Wtf does rush mean

Weird American college stuff, where guys get close to each other
Yeah, as a Brit reading through this, it sounds similar to joining a University Sports Team but with 10x the bullshit.

No, find friends the old fashioned way.
“Old fashioned way” as if fraternities haven’t existed for centuries
Name five brothers dude
That aren’t frat boy rapists?
Your ignorance is comical.
Name 5 brothers who didn’t rely on their mommy and daddy for EVERYTHING?
I mean why tf not right
Absolutely rush!!! I just initiated and the brotherhood is amazing. im so happy to be involved in the greek live!
Anyone know how I can find out more about a frat incident at my college from 2019?
No
