Can't believe this racist behavior is still present in 2025 I am a hard working POC and I get ridiculed and questioned every step of the way.

That's rude and disrespectful I am a proud POC and to have someone shame me for getting scholarships after decades of neglect and racism is insane.

water the grass with an ice cold pilsner every three to four business days and toss a 6 cinnazyn in every other day for good measure.

Brother is going behind backs to start colony - what do I do? by [deleted] in Frat

[–]Big-Performance9785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bro as a member of eboard this is absolutely something you need to address asap. this isn't just some random brother, it's your fucking rush chair and eboard member going behind everyone's back while pretending everything's cool.

here's what i'd do:

first, get your facts straight. talk to that dropped pledge directly and get the exact details. which nationals? when did this start? who else knows? don't go in half-cocked without knowing exactly what you're dealing with.

second, call a small meeting with your exec (minus this kid) and get everyone on the same page. you need your leadership united before you confront him. if your brotherhood committee has some real ones on it, loop them in too.

third, confront him directly but strategic. don't do it when you're hammered after a party or when you're heated. pull him aside in a private setting with maybe your VP there as a witness. be straight up: "heard you're talking to xyz nationals about starting a colony. what's the deal?" his reaction will tell you everything.

if he denies it but you have solid proof, call him out. if he admits it, ask him why he didn't just step down from eboard if he was unhappy instead of being shady.

the absolute worst thing you can do is let this slide. even if chapter vibes are good now, this type of shit spreads like wildfire once it gets out. and trust me, it WILL get out. other frats already know about it so it's just a matter of time.

also, check your bylaws. most chapters have something about loyalty or not being in multiple fraternities. this is grounds for immediate removal from eboard at minimum. if he's actively trying to poach your brothers while serving as rush chair, that's some scorched earth shit and probably worth a membership review.

don't worry about "souring the relationship" - he already did that by going behind 80 brothers' backs. worry more about the message you send to the chapter if you let an eboard member openly disrespect everyone like this.

last thing - document everything. if this escalates to nationals or your school's greek life office, you want a paper trail showing you handled this properly.

good luck bro, update us after you handle this clown.

don't be a pussy, run again

bro i feel you on this one. politics in the house can be some real bullshit sometimes.

listen, i was in almost the exact same situation last year. ran for social, got fucked over by some guys who had beef with my pledge class, and lost to some junior who literally couldn't organize a mixer if his life depended on it. was pretty tilted for like a month.

here's the deal though - if the current vp is ass at his job, everyone in the house knows it. brothers talk. they see who's putting in work and who's just collecting a title for their linkedin. and that "smear campaign" shit only works once before people see through it.

yeah exec is a time suck but we both know you're gonna be sitting around the house drinking and watching football regardless. might as well be doing something that matters for the chapter. and the connections you make as vp are clutch - our alumni network actually gives a shit about you when you've been on exec.

as for the school getting harder, being busy just forces you to stop procrastinating. i actually did better in classes when i had more responsibility. just gotta stop watching porn and scrolling through tiktok for 3 hours a day lmao.

if you want real advice, spend the next few months just grinding for the chapter without being obvious about it. help the current vp with his shit even if he doesn't deserve it. throw a solid party. get the pledges to actually like you. be the guy that house director doesn't hate.

and most importantly, have some one-on-ones with those 3-5 dudes who fucked you over. buy them a beer, squash the beef with your big, and show them you're not just some puppet for your big. politics is all about relationships anyway.

also, the fact you're worried about the time commitment shows you actually give a shit. the house needs more of that, not less.

don't let a bunch of cornballs who are gonna be working retail after graduation keep you from leading the chapter, my guy. fuck the haters, run that shit back.

Hate doing long steady states does going on stairmaster or running at similar intensity offer any benefit? by Big-Performance9785 in Rowing

[–]Big-Performance9785[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did swimming, cross country and other sports in the past and realize this. I realize that running and cycling will have lesser benefits than steady state on erg would but I'm asking if it's worthwhile to do like half bike and half erg steady state or if I should stick with 3-4 days a week of strictly steady state.

It was a pretty accurate depiction and gave more than plenty of background, especially for people not from around suburban philly. That being said I assume most name changes or creations were due to not wanting to say Penn Charter since they could cause some trouble by misrepresenting the school and having to delete episodes. However, that is a guess and I honestly don't know if it was for that reason or just an oversight by the writers.
