One student organization I would like to be a part of at FSU is a fraternity. The frats I’m looking into are Delt, Theta Chi, and Phi Delt. When I was back in Miami a group of fourteen of us called ourselves RNO and I guess you could say it’s the closest thing to a frat that I’ve been in. We would haze each other in a way by forcing one of us to do something that was probably drinking related. Also every weekend at least once we would gather at one of our houses and have a beer pong tournament. We even had an official bottle opener, a piece of sod to pee on and RNO labeled ping pong balls. Yeah we took this stuff very seriously. I’ve already been checking out the houses and Phi Delt has a massive mansion with a basketball court, a lawn of grass in the middle of the house and a huge party area inside the house. Delt is also very interesting, they are probably one of the top if not the top frat on campus and they have a couple kids that I know from back home already in it. They throw sick parties like the 4th of July that I went to and they get tons of very attractive girls that ride to their parties which interests me very much. Theta Chi might just be where I end up though, they have five people from back home that I know in the frat already. They’re all pushing me really hard to join too so it might be hard to say no. They’re up there as one of the top frats but they don’t have a real house, they have an apartment complex for the brothers and a small party house out behind the apartments. Anywhere I join I’m sure I’ll like and I’m really excited to rush because I love when kids underestimate my abilities because I’m athletic, and I can party really hard. Maybe telling them that I won the senior superlative for most outgoing at my school will help me but I can’t wait to experience it.

I’m looking to join a fraternity too, but my parents are kind of looking the other way on it. They want me to pay for it myself so I’m probably going to have to wait until sophomore year to join one. The fraternities I’ve been to so far are Sigma Chi, Theta Chi, Phi Tao, and Pi Kappa Phi. My friends and I have been to Pi Kappa Phi the most, and some of my friends have already received bids from there. That group you had in high school sounds pretty crazy, did you have the same processes with new members and stuff like that or was it the same group of guys the whole time? Either way it sounds like that group taught you a lot about what joining a fraternity will be like. I don’t think I’ve been to Delt yet, I’m sure I will though sometime in the Fall if I don’t end up there this Summer at some point before I leave. Phi Delt also sounds like a place I’d be really interested in. Any place that has a basketball court immediately catches my attention, even more so than a party area, even though that sounds pretty sick too. It looks like you’ll have no problem joining a fraternity that you like, considering you were voted most outgoing in high school, so that’s good. It’s good that you can party really hard, I’m sure that looked great on your college resume haha. These fraternities are actually really stereotyped badly though. Everyone sees fraternities as just houses college kids can get drunk in, but it’s so much more than that. After talking to some brothers at fraternities I’ve been too, they care more about the moral qualities that comes with being in fraternity rather than just drinking all the time. But, I’m sure they like to party too, just not as much as people give them credit for.
Your discussion about frats is interesting. You both bring up good points – there is a lot of money involved, for sure, and frats seem to have a reputation for partying all of the time. But I also know there are frats who do some good work around the community and the relationships can be valuable during your college experience. I hope you find the right place for you.
