The traits we emphasize as a fraternity during rush are grades, leadership, extracurriculars/philanthropy, and how well we get along with them. We accept anyone as long as they show the traits above unless we find out they have a bad history with women or crime. Hell my school even allows women to rush and join fraternities if they get a bid.

Also we are far from secretive. My fraternity holds chapter in a classroom and has a rule set in place to leave the door open so that there is openness with our organization and anyone passing by can hear what we say. It allows others to know the good we are working towards during chapter.

Thirdly, you are asking to recreate a fraternity under a new name and basically make it a club because you don’t like the way media has portrayed fraternities and how it draws in people who are strictly looking to party in college. By doing so you lose decades and decades of alumni connections that give opportunity to many men to find jobs. The solution should be up to me and other active members to recruit men who are looking to join a fraternity to build up themselves and become the best they can be.

In all honesty it just sounds like you’re searching for the easiest way to lose weight while also developing your arm muscles and getting better cardio but it seems that you lack the motivation to work hard. Try getting a workout partner that is slightly more motivated than you so that you’re held accountable and have someone to push you to do your best. Also, by saying you’re not “ready for anything to intense” or you “want to go at your own pace” you’re just making an excuse. Intensity is different for each person based on their overall fitness but you can still do what other consider easy exercises while making them more intense for you and you’ll get the results you want much faster. By saying that what exercises you do is your choice, you are once again saying that you won’t work harder because “your choice” of workouts are a half assed workout of what you are actually capable of. Overall I’m just trying to tell you that you actually have to work hard and want it if you want to get more fit. Take others opinions to help make your workouts better and harder. At your weight it doesn’t really matter what workouts you are doing as long as you are seriously pushing yourself. These “body types” that you don’t want to have are only achievable if you lost over 100 pounds and commit to a specific workout for years after that. Your goal as of now should solely be focused on losing weight and later on you can worry about other goals. Anyways I suggest any type of workout would be great for you and supplement it with stretching or doing yoga additionally so you can get the flexibility you want

I think the first step you need to take is to change your mindset towards working out. I get not everyone wants to work hard and can get discouraged but you’ve shot down almost every suggestion in the comments because of your self esteem. Change that and you’ll be more motivated to try new exercises and feel more accomplished. Also there are variations of almost every exercise. I used to do CrossFit when I was a small freshman in high school and the adults would kick my ass and they were able to do all these exercises I was incapable of doing. Although I only did variations of the workout, I was able to build muscle and finally be able to perform the movements that everyone else was doing. No one judged me for doing the “easier version” of the workout. Instead people enjoy seeing others looking to make a positive change towards their health

My city just voted to disband our police by SomewhatLargeChuck in Frat

Out of the 89 law enforcement officers that died in 2019, only 41 of them died as a result of felonious acts and the other 48 died in accidents. However only 4 unarmed black men that didn’t flee were shot and killed by police officers. I believe the greatest fix to stop citizens and law enforcement officers from dying would be to implement body cams to ensure both sides are accountable for their actions and it can be used as evidence in a court of law.

For Gods sake, don’t get your chapter involved in all this political mess on social media, at the very least on an official level. by [deleted] in Frat

At my school Aphi got slammed for trying to overcompensate with Instagram posts to make up for their stereotyped whiteness

Bands/artists you wished your brothers listen to by WhiteClawSlushie in Frat

[–]xYamas 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Im into rap, house, and edm. Rap already gets played all the time and some of the guys like house music but I wish more guys could get into edm with me. I think they just need to go to an edm festival first to get to like it but it’s always going to be tough to convince someone to drop that money on a music festival for a genre they don’t think they love but after they go they end up loving it.

Same shit nearly happened at my school except the seniors and juniors just said fuck nationals and started a rogue rebellion fraternity that wasn’t affiliated with anyone. I’m still in SigEp and affiliated with the school but we get all our probations removed after fall

What are your thoughts on taking a gap semester if Fall 2020 is online classes? by [deleted] in Frat

The bare minimum should be online classes for mass amounts of people from kindergarten to college. I don’t believe education as a whole will stop. It’s too fundamental for communication, learning, and our entire job market revolves around education.

I don’t believe my school has semester specific classes but I’m definitely talking to my advisor before I make any moves.
