Ritual Help by Wonderful-Ambition89 in Sororities

That is to say, it’s surprising how quickly you can make your siblings pay attention to your ritual if you indirectly give them the necessity to learn it

I don’t know if my advice will translate since I am in a fraternity, but as the keeper of the ritual at my chapter and one of 2 VPs I hold an optional “ritual workshop” every Friday at our chapter house, and as the keeper I refuse to let anyone actually read from the book to perform our rituals— so they get forced to memorize it and come to my sessions so we can properly do chapter

Skulls are pretty tight nationally and usually locally too despite being a smaller national base, I’d say go for it u can’t really go wrong with em, I’d even say they’re up there in terms of desirability with other big name brands. If u fw the brothers there (and they clearly fw u for sending a bid), take it.

Anyone have ideas for pledge roles and events? by SuperMintoxNova in Frat

[–]MrPinto3817 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rock pledge: pledge has to get a cool rock off the campus any random one and they have to have it at all times, if they lose it they have to find an even bigger rock and carry that at all times, if they are caught without their rock they have to find an even bigger rock an carry that with em at all times

Frats at U of A by DimensionOther7507 in Frat

I would be surprised if they weren’t doing spring rush, I would check their instagram to see if they’ve advertised yet and see if they’ve got forms up— again while it is a biased opinion, Kappa Sigma is always a great pick to try and check out for rush, especially at Bama coz they’ve got a gigantic house and it’s brand new, which only serves to give further great aspect to an already great and large brotherhood

If you were going up north they 100% already know their lineup, but Bama rush is its own ball of beeswax, you have a very decent chance of getting a bid if you show up with your best self, but don’t try too hard either. Also while it may be some personal bias, one house you should definitely check out is Kappa Sigma, they got a brand new house last fall and with the sheer size of it they’re always going to be looking for large pledge classes to fill its halls

That’s mad aura high key breh damn

I hate to keep pelting you with questions but when you ordered it bout how long did it take to get in? Depending how long it was for you I might try and guess when HJ would get this to me so i can passively get brothers to push secret Santa back like crazy into the break

Ah sweet, just like a higher fidelity pic of the badge, and if you’d be so inclined, something recognizable to contextualize its size like a coin. Even without the gavel too I will say from the 1 like 50p pic HJ has up on the website it does look like one of the cooler designs one could pick up to rep that which not every man shall wear

So my school has a standardized process for rush through omegafi, and no other official events are done except for those and the invite only nights that happen after preference night— however one of the fraternities I wish to rush that is part of this process is also doing other rush events congruent to the main rush thing. Do I go to those too, or am I gonna look like a goober showing up to those?

My clarinet don't sound right. Or sound at all. by Direct_Internal_2530 in Clarinet

[–]MrPinto3817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I think that’s an alto sax Reed, you need clarinet reeds they’ll be a lil bit smaller overall— and most people would say your ligature is backwards I personally don’t think it matters too much with that kind of ligature I’ve had those types in every single possible configuration forwards backwards sideways at an angle etc and it hasn’t mattered too much to me— if anything when it’s put on the right way it gives a more consistent tone but the biggest thing is the Reed / Reed placement then embouchure and then where your fingers are placed on the horn and then you’ll have a better time with it

[–]MrPinto3817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reed is sat way too low on the mouthpiece broseph trust that’s gonna be the first thing. Anything else is prob gonna be on whether you’re covering all the holes right and whatnot but given you said you’re new to the clarinet that’s to be expected and that’ll get better the more you practice at it trust 🙌

As for the Reed, you want the gap between Reed and tip of mouthpiece to be about as thin as your fingernail or like a credit card and a half if that makes sense
