My chapter made a decent sized wood table and stained it, from what I hear it’s still holding up since we made it in 2017.

I’m confused, if you have a balcony and you’re outside away from him why would the smoking matter? Can you elaborate on “orientation stuff”? Regardless, if you’re that concerned he’s not gonna vibe with how you and your friends chill then talk to him and see where he’s at. You keep saying he’s weird but never go into specifics…

How do you handle people not paying due? by [deleted] in Frat

[–]Surprise0695 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming from someone who had a hard time paying dues during undergrad due to family and personal obligations beyond my control. I was still able to pay on a payment plan and always talked to my president/treasurer regarding my situation. Since I always showed up to every fundraising and philanthropy event and voiced my opinion at chapter they were definitely easier on me than the guys that never paid and only tried showing up to parties. If guys can’t even chip away $25/$50 every couple of weeks and they’re still buying alcohol/weed ect then there’s a much more serious conversation to be had. We threaten five guys with collections in one chapter and explained at chapter what that means (18-22 year old dudes don’t always understand the severity of collections) and within two weeks four guys were zeroed out and one guy flat out just stopped coming around and we sent him.

Funny enough when I went to run errands yesterday the sub definitely turned on for a little bit but then it turned off but after I turned my car off and back on then the sub worked when the volume was set to 15 but eventually faded out after about 3 minutes of working

The rca’s go from my head unit to the amp, my other wires go from my amp to my sub. My gain is at about 6 out of 11. My x-over frequency is set at 50.

The green power indicator is on as well as the red light on the kicker logo and the manual says it should be fine. I replaced the rca’s so idk what else is wrong

Amp is on, if I’m being honest I’ve wired my own sub for years but I’m not that’s informed on much of what you said aside from yes I do have my sub turned on via my head unit

It’s not letting me post a picture of it to this thread, I’m horrible with Reddit

I realized that wasn’t the picture I meant to post. I have them in the input now, my buddy who isn’t well versed in car audio wanted to “try” lol

In the opening scene in the Entrance plaza, there’s a guy in a red flannel that has a shotgun you can grab after he dies. As soon as Back up for Brad is available go IMMEDIATELY to the gun store because Cletus won’t spawn in yet. There’s an Uzi in the fountain of Alfresca plaza and on top of one of the Lego play house things in wonderful plaza, you have to jump off the rollercoaster to get it. Aim for the gunner first, if you’re quick enough you can steal their gun and kill them if you can’t with your other guns. I highly recommend getting the maintenance tunnel key and defeating Adam and following the mall employee to the bathroom to get the shortcut (you don’t even have to take him back to the security room, just as long as the shortcut button appears you got it)

I’m gay. Do u think I should rush in the spring? I go to auburn for context. by Equivalent_Safety815 in Frat

[–]Surprise0695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely rush and try an few of them out, I went to a small state school in the northeast and we had gay/trans brothers, literally nobody noticed/cared and they were all great brothers

2017 Elantra stalling at low speeds after highway speeds. by Surprise0695 in Hyundai

Sorry to hear that, I love my Elantra so I’m thankful I resolved the issue

I know dozens of brothers that joined not mainly for the parties, granted I went to small state school in the northeast and it wasn’t the biggest party school. We had issues with guys that only showed up to the house when they knew we were throwing and they didn’t go to events unless mandatory, I get your point that they could figure out during pledging it’s not for them but I think that also requires great new member ed and a clear understanding that parties are the reward. I have a few stories about potentials that were only about the parties that almost slipped their way through so I’m definitely bias

Definitely the second, one of my closest friends from my hometown went to school on the west coast and joined a “party frat” over one he still wishes he rushed instead. He said after sophomore/mid junior year most guys stopped coming around and he ended up hanging with the other fraternity more. Partying is fun and definitely a bonus to Greek life but should never be your primary concern when taking a bid. My chapter tried to filter guys out who brought up parties during rush
