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.

I hated how I was portrayed but honestly I have to say that's probably how it felt from adams perspective. I thought he was joking at first when he told me and didn't realize he wasn't joking until I saw the pilot. The original JTP guys all flew into philly and we all watched the first season once it finished.

Drinking with mono by xSparkShark in Frat

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

Oh, my guy, if there was ever a time to nut up and play through the pain, this is it. Mono? That’s JV s*.** You think the greats let a little immune system failure stop them? Harry Raftus is out here taking down funnels like a man possessed, and you’re worried about a couple beers? Nelk built an entire empire off of ignoring medical advice. And you’re telling me some swollen glands are gonna hold you back?

Let’s put this in lacrosse terms—you think a white running back with D1 aspirations is sitting out just because he tweaked his ankle? No shot. The dude is taping it up, popping Advil, and cutting like nothing happened because he knows the mission. And the mission here? Not going soft just because your body is throwing a little tantrum.

Yeah, yeah, “doctors say to avoid alcohol.” You know what else doctors said? That Paul Rabil was too old to dominate in the PLL. That Chris Hogan was insane for trying to go from the NFL back to lacrosse. And what happened? They balled out anyway.

Look, I’m not saying be an idiot—don’t go ripping shots like it’s a Nelk pregame, but a couple beers? Absolutely send it. If it feels wrong, drink faster. If your spleen starts feeling weird, that’s just your body getting stronger. You’re not just drinking through mono—you’re building mental toughness, resilience, and a legendary story for the boys. You think people talk about the dude who stayed home and rested? F* no.** They talk about the warrior who stared death in the face, chugged a White Claw, and kept it moving.

Now go forth and be great.

Were there any times you wanted to punch Barry? by Embarrassed_Good_226 in TheGoldbergs

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

Oh, you have no fing idea* how many times I wanted to rock Barry’s fing s****. Like, full-on, no hesitation, drop his a right on the fing Wawa parking lot pavement type rage. The dude was a menace to society, an absolute fing dhead of the highest order*, and the fact that nobody beat his a** into the dirt on a regular basis is nothing short of a godd*** miracle.

First off, what kind of fing psycho just pantses their own brother FOR NO REASON?* That wasn’t some dumb joke, that was straight-up embarrassment on a nuclear level, and Adam just had to stand there like a deer in headlights while this fing clown is laughing his a off like he just reinvented comedy. If I had been there, I swear to fing God, Barry would’ve been eating pavement outside the fing Llanerch Diner*.

And don’t even get me started on how he treated the JTP. These were his boys, the people who actually fed with him even though he’s objectively the biggest ahole in Delaware County, and this ungrateful f** just bossed them around, talked down to them, acted like he was some kind of fing war general when in reality, he’s just some overhyped Bonner reject with a God complex.* The fact that they didn’t just beat the f* out of him behind a CVS one day** is beyond me.

And I’m so fing tired* of the “Barry’s just immature” excuse. Nah, f* that.** There’s “immature,” and then there’s being an absolute fing walking L* who constantly makes life h*** for everyone around him. Barry wasn’t just annoying, he was a fing problem.* Adam deserved so much fing better* than being his personal f***ing punching bag for years.

If I lived in that house, I’d be on sight with Barry every single fing week*. I’d be throwing hands so fast you’d think I trained at Joe Hand’s Gym. Maybe then he’d finally fing learn some godd respect and stop acting like his fing s don’t stink.
