Greek Life

I would think that it would depend upon the fraternity, as well as how fraternities in general operate at your particular school.

That's exactly what it comes down to. I'm at Georgia Tech and haven't looked back since rushing my fraternity last fall. However, if I was at, say, Georgia Southern, not only would I not want to rush any of the fraternities there, I would likely be laughed at if I tried. This is why my friends from high school at Southern or UGA were so shocked that I joined a fraternity. The thought of me as a "frat boy" just didn't work for them and for good reason - I nor my fraternity fill that stereotype. We have our beer pong, we have our drunken parties and we have our tailgating for football but we also have a 36 hour video game marathon for Chiildren's Miracle Network, a reward given to the person dubbed the "Most Likely to Survive a Zombie Attack" and laundry room shelves full of a dozen variations on the board game Risk. Basically, we're a bunch of computer dorks minus the dork and plus good social skills.

Personally, I'm a Psi Upsilon.

Ha, going by GaTech standards, I am not surprised to see a Psi U on the LL. At Tech Psi U is one of the only houses thought of as "nerdier" (for lack of a better word) than my house. Although, I might have my Greek alphabet on backwards because I think it's co-ed. Is that done on a by-chapter basis?
