Need some advice...

you seem to think you know a lot about something you probably have never taken the chance to look into.

you seem to not know i lived in one for three years. and i'm just being honest about the situation. you are not. participated in philanthropies and never bought a t-shirt. that is the biggest load of crap i've ever heard. you know how to pick asava out of a crowd? when you see a crapload of greeks on a softball field and he is the only one not wearing the same t-shirt.

sory, that was a little harsh, but i'm a little hungover and a little drunk. haven't had this feeling since football season.

cost really isn't a factor with me (scholarships,parents have some money, etc.), more like being around guys that are fun and pretty smart and the college experience.

like I said, keep as open minded as possible and you'll figure out who is the most like you.

Speaking as a sorohor, it was fun being greek. At a place like K-State (where I didn't do my undergrad) it seems like it would be more fun and you'd get more involved if you are greek than if you aren't.  I'm a bit of a homebody and if it weren't for my sistas  ( I know) I wouldn't have played on the broomball team, gone to fun parties, participated in greek week, etc.  Glad I did it.  Far more drunk, stoned, passed out nights than I can count, and I wasn't even that active in my house.

i didn't realize intramurals counted as a philanthropy. if you are saying that buying an intramurals shirt is the downfall of all fraternities, then i understand your point. i have bought 3 of those in the 4 years i have been involved. i'm sorry you felt pressured to spend money and buy t-shirts, but from my experience i never had to buy anything or do anything i didn't want to. its all up to the person.

and i am being completely honest the only philanthropic t-shirt i have ever bought was the K-State Proud shirt this year. Its not that i don't support philanthropies, i just choose to do community service, and participate in the philanthropies instead, which my house pays for (if there is a cost). i'm not trying to sound like going greek is the best thing in the world, but if it fits you then it does, if it doesn't then don't join one. you obviously had a crapty experience because of the choices you made, not the choices of other people. stop blaming everyone else for what you decided to do.

when was i blaming you? if i need anything, it isn't your pity. i had a great experience, but have had the opportunity to look back a few years later, after living pretty much like an independent, and see the good and the bad. i met some people that are still my very good friends. if anything, my experience soured me on the greek system as a whole more than my paticular house. i still believe frats are more expensive. you usually party more and that comes with extra costs.

I'm rushing fraternities this spring and have gotten quite a few phone calls from different ones.  Which ones should i look into if i'm looking for a frat that's not real nerdy but has some bright guys (engineers and such) and preferrably a wet house, attracts decent girls, and such.

I ask for those of you that hate on frats to stay out cuz i've already decided to do it, but if any of you have some suggestions that would be great.

I suggest Triangle or Acacia.

Triangle is a Fraternity of Engineers, Architects and Scientists.

Acacia:  Today, members are no longer required to belong to the Masonic Fraternity. However, since Acacia was founded by Master Masons, it still enjoys an informal spiritual tie to Masonry. Some Acacians pursue membership in the Masonic Orders, and Masonic lodges and individual masons have been of invaluable service to Acacia chapters over the years. This relationship, however, is voluntary.

Many Fraternities have some sort of restricted membership.  Beta Sigma Psi is Lutheran, Phi Kappa Theta is Roman Catholic, etc.  However, many are "general" membership.

I was kidding. I don't think Triangle or Acacia is what he is looking for at all.

In seriousness, I would suggest Theta Xi or Lambda Chi.
