<p>Yeah…like if they came here to visit we would let them in, but the reputations of each of our chapters on their respective campuses is fairly well known. When I go to visit my friends at IU, I go anywhere near the DKE house there.</p>
<p>Hey, what would happen if you join a fraternity and then because you really don’t like the school want to transfer elsewhere (perhaps where they have a chapter of the current fraternity)? Would people be OK with it or what? because it wouldn’t be against the fraternity but against the university.</p>
<p>yeah we had a guy transfer to our chapter at clemson from alabama, and i know a girl who did the same but she transferred from here to college of charleston. it shouldnt be a problem</p>
<p>I am actually going through the same thing now, iheartdonuts. I just got initiated into my frat this semester but I hate this school and might transfer elsewhere next year.</p>
<p>Typical rule is that the transfer into a chapter must be approved by the new chapter (and the transferring individual must want to join the chapter at his or her new school).</p>
<p>A lot of chapters give a sort of “trial” period. From all the stories I’ve ever heard, it’s usually the transfer who chooses not join the new chapter - not the other way around.</p>
<p>we have 2 transfers, it doesnt seem that hard</p>
<p>I am a student at the University of Nevada and many members of the greek organizations act in a stereotypical manner. They are the jock type people from high school. All they care about are their looks and partying. Some do care about other things, but most only care about parties and how many chicks they screwed. They also act like self anointed elitists. DSP even said that you only get special help from professors if you are a member and you won’t get it even if you ask and aren’t a member. I don’t care if people want a club for like minded people, but don’t act like dicks to the rest of us who don’t want to join. Another short rant, the ones that do care act like you won’t get anywhere in life after college unless you are in a frat. I accept that it may be different in different places, but my experience only yielded two types of frat members, the jocks that managed to get into a university and the over achieving dicks.</p>

<p>It got revived from the dead. Well its still important. I saw inside some of them and they are gross. And how do you sleep if theres parties all the time? The cool ones have the huge mansions and that would be cool. So it kind of depends. I would rather have friends that like me cause im cool and not cause I pay them tho.</p>
<p>^ Expected.</p>
<p>Finding the right fraternity is like finding the right college. It’s a highly individualized process, but if you score the jackpot it will be one of the best decisions of your entire life.</p>

<p>You should not die for your fraternity. Fraternities already have enough blood on their hands from all the people that have died through hazing in initiations and illegal activities. </p>
<p>Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers’ Party adopted similar methods in their fraternity.</p>
<p>I didn’t even know you had to pay to join - I assumed required expenditures were limited to communal beer runs and the like - but this is another reason I can add to my pile of those against me joining.</p>

<p>Reductio ad Hitlerum much thereisnosecret? He did not say he would die for his fraternity, he said he would die for his brothers. That’s how deep the bond he has forged with them is. It has nothing to with his fraternity and everything to do with the individual people. I’m sure he wouldn’t die for a random brother he’s never met just because they’re in the same organization.</p>
<p>Awesome! I was hoping someone would bring up reductio ad Hitlerum. I consider it irrational and unhealthy to become so fanatical about individual members of a fraternity that one would consider dying for them. Al Qaeda adopts similar methods. (INB4 reductio ad AQ)</p>
<p>Purposely using reducito ad Hitlerum is even worse. Why would you want to lower yourself to that absurd argument. It’s an insult and just plain disrespect to the horrors of the Holocaust to compare something this trivial to it. You sound like a child with no actual credible argument.</p>
<p>Guess what the secret service is willing to die for the President, even for his children and they get paid for it! We should abolish the SS because no one should be willing to die for the President just because they belong to the SS. That sounds just as ridiculous as your Hitler and now Al-Quaeda comparisons.</p>
<p>You don’t even deserve a thoughtful response explaining how it’s not because of the fraternity that one feels this way, it’s because of the bond he has made with his brothers.</p>
