today i am going to dump all over fraternities. i know a lot of you either are/were in a frat. well, to be honest, i still think you're a dumbass. for those of you that tell me about your little "greek" experience, this is what i gather so far:

- you pay hundreds of dollars a semester to be in a club
- your hundreds of dollars pay for a select individual(s) to live in a fancy house
- you get to go to parties
- of all of you i know, a solid 80% of you have low self-esteem issues. seriously.

now, i tell you what; if you look at this whole club thing from a business perspective, the guy in charge is brilliant. he basically sits there, collects your money, gives you stupid **** titles and has his living paid for while he's at school. so, the lesson i'm learning here is you can take a bunch of people with the inability to be cool on their own, pretend to like them and make tons of money.

it's a time tested "get rich quick" scheme. so, i guess if you can withstand being a complete tool for long enough to be the "big brother" you could make some serious coin. if you don't, well quite frankly you just look like a bag of ****.

hmm. i'm not positive but i'm 99% certain that in places like Waco, Texas this sort of thing might be considered a cult.... at least some of the real cults have banquets with better stuff than natural ice. you'd think with the ridiculous dues you pay you could splurge for some Hawaiian punch or something else more tolerable on the tongue.

--- "big brothers" world wide just joined the Yacht Haven club with all the money they got from you little bastards.

24 months ago: perhaps it is I who is reading your comment wrong, or maybe you missed the purpose of the article. I am not looking to joing a frat.... i was arguing against people joining.

but it is possible i interpreted your reply wrong, in which case i apologize although i always enjoy a good debate on my "offbeat" points of view.

24 months ago: I know you're ranting about people joining them. But if it upsets you so much that you care to rant about it, you apparently do find them interesting. It almost seems as if you're jealous of those who were smart enough to make money this way. So why not start one yourself?

24 months ago: For starters I would like to extend my appreciation to you for an intelligent response instead of some of the ones I usually receive. Anyways, jealous? Unfortunately, I will have to respectfully disagree with that. My rant was basically a jab at certain people I know who joined them to come home and tell us how "cool" they were to be out drinking all the time and allowing their studies to slip. Isn't that why we all go to school? To study, graduate and get a job? I know going to a regimented school may not be exciting to most people, but I feel no jealousy to not be in a club.

However, you are correct in the fact that those who convince people to pay them to join are absolutely brilliant. If you can get thousands of people to donate to your lifestyle, well then my goodness am I impressed.

Now mind you, I understand my views tend to be rather "out there", but I'm just a student. I read things, I see things, and in turn I write about them.
