Took until Tuesday afternoon after football before the rook trolls to come over to the GB?

SAE isn't event officially on campus.
But, they were the inventors of Chili Fest.

This. Not enough stars.

We sold these in Hart when I was a Frick.

I think my old one is in the attic somewhere.

There is a rumor that Cap'n Poopy Pants may make an appearance.

Because they are elitist conformist drinking clubs full of spoiled brats with no real friends so they rent them instead, and then because they have zero game or personality, they roofie girls at tailgates and mixers so they can have a "date"?

I didn't know I was an "elitest", never been called a spoiled brat… I have lots of real friends… my gf thinks I have solid game… never roofied anyone, more like floories…

That's your experience from back in the day.

My Frick year (back when I was an engineering major, lol), one of my class mates was pledging and told me that being in a fraternity "was a warm and rewarding experience." That was 1990.

I got my first Letterhead that night. I think I was an "E."

I do and I will. Those are the easiest ones, besides tceh of course.

Reality is that a lot of kids would struggle at some schools without Greek Life. I have visited quite a few schools for road games and I can see where it would be hard to attend Ole Miss, Auburn, Alabama, UGA Tennessee, and Clemson without being in the Greek System. It is big at LSU also, but not as strong, it seems. We are really the strange duck.

I enjoyed dorm life, Bonfire and RHA when I was at A&M. But that was 30+ years ago. A lot has changed.

While I made fun of frats when I was at A&M, no doubt I'd have pledged (or tried to) had I been at a different school.

RENT A FRIEND, JOIN A frat

I was never in a fraternity (or the corps), but to an outsider looking in, a fraternity does not seem much different from playing dress up as fake military in the corps. I get that a small minority of corps students actually join the military, but unless it actually becomes a ROTC program with mandatory military service, the corps doesn't seem all that different to me. Nerdier, sure, but both just social organizations.

Yeah. Frats are much better now than they ever were.

At least they aren't racist.

Frats just keep living in some peoples mind.

Rent free. The obsession is a mental disorder.

Amazing to me how strong opinions can be over something that doesnt affect you one bit. Why not just let others do what they want?

Fraternities have been around A&M for over 50 years (since before many of these complainers were even born).

this is a T sip talking point, "fake military". When did the corps ever claim to be a real military.

---

That's my point though. The corps doesn't claim to be real military, so it is just a social organization. Like a fraternity.

Show me on the doll where the fraternity touched you.

A key difference is the Aggie Corps doesn't allow its members to choose who's allowed to join. As long as you're able to comply with the organization's standards, you can join and stay.
Also, ROTC remains a significant part of the program. It's foolish to try minimizing this fact.

Yeah. His take was terrible.

Frats > yell leaders
