Serious Is it okay for me to leave as a pledge if I don’t feel a big connection with my pc and other members + time commitment reasons?

2 Upvotes

Every day there’s stuff that takes hours to do and I need the best possible grades as a pre med so it doesn’t feel like it’s working. Also, I feel like I’m not really a part of the community because I don’t drink and smoke as much as everyone else and because I feel swamped with schoolwork and shit I don’t want to pick up a position in the house either. Because of this, I end up wishing I don’t have to go to the frat every day and could focus on my schoolwork and other friends. I enjoy the parties but all the other commitments like setup, cleanup, chores, etc. are a lot, and I’ve been telling my parents and my friends how much I love it even though it’s beginning to wear on me lately. Do yall think it’s worth pushing through and starting to live in asap to feel like a part of it more or am I just not frat material? Thank for your help.

Frat Stuff How to Depledge

7 Upvotes

My roommate and friend from high school crossed for this frat last spring quarter and this fall quarter he invited me to rush. I was never interested in greek life but since he invited me I thought I’d try it out. I passed the screening and all that and now I’m currently starting week 4 of the pledge process. More than ever I want to drop. We started off as a class of 5 but the two I got along with best dropped. The hazing has been ramping up in intensity and I’m starting to wonder if its worth it? The fraternity isn’t even recognized by the school due to severe hazing incidents in the past and it has taken a toll on my mental and grades. I know pledging isn’t supposed to be easy but doing all this for “friends” and “connections” just doesn’t align with my goals. Its weird because my friend was able to do it but since hes a bro he also partakes in the hazing 😭 The The only reason I’ve kept going was a mixture of pride and pressure i felt from my friend, big bro, and pd.

How can I go about dropping without leaving bad blood behind?

Serious Looks like the rapture has arrived

104 Upvotes

Old head grad who’s a few years out, who checks in here every once in a while. But damn looks like the for coming doom talk of end of pledging that we always talked about for the past ten years, has finally arrived.

I can’t imagine the lens on Greek life and pledging will subside to what it ever was before. So if you care about your chapter - get with the program, limit your exposure, and consider cutting out programs that aren’t worth the risk.

Promise you, being above the curve to an eventual outcome is better than not having a chapter. Best of luck gents.

Serious It never gets better after postgrad

23 Upvotes

I graduated back in May and I am currently working in my college town full-time. I have tried so hard to be the person who is always so happy but I’m actually really miserable and so tired of this shit. Everyone leaves after post grad and no one actually cares. My little and my own fraternity family hates me. My mom called me a failure and I struggle to get out of bed. I don’t have anything to live for. Everyone who was in my fraternity had support but hell and behold when it’s me I always get excluded and mocked. Everyone found community and belonging but me, hell all my life I never have, not even my home. I always seem to be the bud of the joke.

I’m sorry to admit but I’m so depressed and I do not want to be here anymore. I hate waking up everyday and I’m in an endless loop of what it feels to be in purgatory. I’m at the end of my life anyways soon. It is not going to get better anytime soon. I’ve tried so much and still as an Alumini I can’t fit in and I’m always excluded. I give so much and I can’t even get people to like me. I’m just going to have the same fate as Ophelia.

Rush Advice Rushing Uw Madison spring

3 Upvotes

Hi, Im planning on being a spring rush at Madison rn but I've been fear mongered about a lot of the frats Ive actually met dudes I enjoy being around. If anyones an alum or current member at a house in Madison any rushing advice specifically on pledging would be extremely appreciated. In fall I went to an event or two at a few houses and I'm liking DU, Beta, Theta Chi, and Fiji but I'm hearing some of the hazing stuff is actually vile. Also generally any advice on how I should be presenting myself to these dudes in general is really appreciated. Thanks


r/Frat • • 5d ago

Frat Stuff I was at a rush event last night, had a great time with the brothers but one of the brothers who I know best said I’m a great guy if I do or do not get a bid we should definitely connect. But the main problem is he kept repeating it to me like I might not get a bid but idk. What do you guys think

Serious Misled during rush/pledgeship

27 Upvotes

I’m a freshman who recently got initiated into a fraternity, but the whole process was pretty unusual and rushed. Pledgeship was much shorter than usual, and we were initiated way earlier than normal, so I never really got to know the guys in my pledge class or develop much of a connection with the house. I also am willing to bet no other frat in the country had a similar pledgeship to ours (PM if you want to know more about it). I wasn’t really able to get to know my pc until after initiation. Since initiation, I realized that this frat wasn’t really the best fit. I also had very few experiences with the brothers and actual brotherhood until after initiation. And I realized that I don’t really fit well with them either.
On top of that, I feel like we were misled during rush and pledgeship about the housing situation. We were told we’d have the same house for junior year, but now it sounds like we’ll probably be living off campus somewhere else.
Me and two other guys are considering dropping. We’re all freshmen and were recently initiated. However, we want to be in a frat but we know that were not able to re-rush. Does this still apply even if pledgeship looked WAY different than normal and that we were misled about the housing?

Serious Frat got suspended

90 Upvotes

My frats chapter got suspended from our university after a long investigation. Only evidence they had was underage drinking, we didn’t haze or anything like that. Our school has been trying to get rid of frats for a while now and I think they’re just looking for any excuse they can. Last time we got investigated we were suspended for a semester because we hazed. I think the Cornell thing had made some schools even more weary of frats, so we got suspended for 6 years for just alcohol.

Im keeping all the good ritual stuff tho ngl.
