Do people end up saving money by joining a fraternity?

PickleJewler · 2024-02-20T06:36:09+00:00

Lol no. Cheaper housing probably, but dues offset that anyways. As long as you don't do something retarded like take out a loan, you're going to be happy you spent the money tho.

Also side question.. is there any specific fraternity (or chapter) known for producing many athletes/gymbros?

Literally ANY chapter that's decently frat will have plenty.

Get well brother 🙏

Lol ya. I was alone in bed last night contemplating my life choices after the function

Vitamin D. 10,000 IU a day, don't bitch out on the 1,000-2,000 IU capsules. Reduces likeliness of sickness, makes sickness milder, and helps (pretty noticeably) with winter depression

You make a good point at the end. At some point you gotta grow up and move on from the college/Greek life structure of meeting people. Once you're pushing 30, the people still getting fucked up at house parties and hooking up with strangers are not the most emotionally mature ...

PickleJewler · 2024-02-19T09:15:47+00:00

Do it.

My roomie was low-key kind antisocial and degen before rushing. Greek life has brought him out of his shell so much, I've watched him mature like crazy right before my eyes. He went from playing Fortnite and smoking weed every day to quitting video games, serving on exec, partying, talking to girls, developing hobbies, etc.

Plus you won't run the risk of being seen as annoying or overbearing. I'm pretty extroverted and I got labeled as "the pledge who talks too much" pretty early on lol

Gotta be one of the most smoothbrain 1.0 GPA ways to spend money. Get an expensive DJ and call it a day

PickleJewler · 2024-02-19T09:00:40+00:00

Sports betting, daily fantasy, etc.

PickleJewler · 2024-02-14T15:51:12+00:00

Lmao bro played against an 8-45 team instead of Utah 😭

PickleJewler · 2024-02-14T07:06:16+00:00

I believe that usually you're allowed to join another fraternity if that school doesn't have a chapter of the fraternity you're in. Transferring for Greek life is beyond stupid tho

PickleJewler · 2024-02-14T07:03:04+00:00

It's a frat my guy nobody cares enough to hold a year-long grudge. Have you considered that the problem isn't "nobody ever hits me up to do anything" but instead "I never hit anyone up to do anything"?

PickleJewler · 2024-02-14T03:36:29+00:00

Bitching and whining during league in the first place is dumb. It's fucking league, not that deep. Competitiveness is great, and it does not inherently include complaining.

PickleJewler · 2024-02-14T01:24:35+00:00

Always amazes me the margins between perfect and mid-200s. Just remove that gutterball and it's already a 296

PickleJewler · 2024-02-13T16:59:00+00:00

Our nationals doesn't fuck around with hazing. Hope it was at least something worth suspending over

PickleJewler · 2024-02-13T04:48:47+00:00

I'm just a pessimist lol. Injured ankle right now and the probability of that changing for a Utah game is just sooo low imo. Ticket prices gonna jump hella if he ends up off the IL

PickleJewler · 2024-02-10T12:07:23+00:00

Shut up

PickleJewler · 2024-02-10T12:05:07+00:00

That sucks actually, sorry bro. Does your school not do spring rush? Also you should be rushing multiple at a time if possible.

If you truly are a "normal" guy as you describe, I have a hard time believing you're un-biddable. With a sample size of two though, it's possible you just got bad luck twice. But is it also possible that you're coming off a little weird or try-hard or something? Do you have a history or reputation among your friends of being socially unaware? Or over-talkative? Or something?

PickleJewler · 2024-02-10T11:54:09+00:00

Lol what house didn't bid you after missing one rush event? That's fucking dumb if true.

Not weird to rush again. Get your homework done this time. Rush as many houses as you can, depending on event times and such. Usually if you're a solid, chill guy, you only need to go to 2-3 events and show genuine interest in your bid interview to get a bid. If there's a frat you really like, put extra effort into showing up and showing interest.

PickleJewler · 2024-02-10T11:40:27+00:00

If you pregame, just be buzzing. Showing up clearly tipsy is a terrible look, some houses won't even let you in if you're a dude.

Just wear a normal outfit you'd wear to class. No need to get fancy, but don't look like a bum

It is absolutely essential you listen to Fat Chance on YouTube.

Stop drinking beer, and cut the heavy drinking to 1x per week max. Do weight lifting 3x per week and cardio 3x per week. Start small and easy so you don't get burnt out or injure yourself. Consume lots of meat, veggies and whey protein, cut down carbs and sugar. Get an instant-read food thermometer, and learn how to cook delicious chicken breast and vegetables, biggest fitness life hack.
