we've had a couple "parties" over here, but they aren't anything special. i'm sure things will pick up once classes start (a lot of people go home until their classes start). mainly i've just been going to the 'to when there isn't anything going on
*bonus if we have a party over here over the summer, we don't have to worry 'bout IFC rules!
what the hell are you talking about? i don't mean that in an "i'm yelling back at you" way, i mean that in a "you have derailed" type of way
yeah, if you haven't ever been to a greek party, we have rules that we have to follow.
but if i want to throw a party at my apartment, i don't have to worry about those rules, because now instead of our house being responsible for someone getting hurt, arrested etc. it's MY ass!! hooray

I really can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm skeptical that frats get in much more trouble than anyone else. Any group is going to have some idiots who go out and do dumb things. Besides, lots of ideas that seemed good at the time seem a little silly when you sober up.
I don't think it's like that at all at our school, but at other schools fraternities get in way more trouble over stupid stuff than dormies would. Like at UCF a two-year member of a house lavaliered his girlfriend, so according to an article "to complete his sign of devotion he volunteered to submit to an embarrassing act involving plastic wrap and shaving cream. The stunt was intended to show that he was willing to go to great lengths for his girlfriend."
Pierce - without the permission or official acknowledgment from PDT, according to officers of the fraternity - invited close friends to attend the event. The group included nine PDT members, some sorority members and several people who don't attend UCF.
"Their presence at the event shows this wasn't a ritual we perform," said Sean Lavin, the vice president of external relations for PDT. "If it were, people not in the fraternity wouldn't be allowed."
Pierce's twin brother, who attends Rollins College, wrapped him to a tree using plastic wrap and decorated him with marshmallows, chocolate syrup and vegetable oil. "None of our brothers had a part in tying him up or applying anything," Lavin said. "No pledges were in attendance."
The UCF Police Department caught most of the escapades on camera and reported the fraternity to the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities. The entire fraternity was subsequently suspended for hazing. The incident received national attention, being aired on FOX News Network and making its way to the Drudge Report, an online news page. "It shouldn't have happened because it gave the university a black eye," Lavin said. "We're disappointed any members were involved in it, because that's not what Phi Delta Theta is about. We're building men and leaders for the future."
Rosenthal said being left suspended through the fall semester would be devastating for the fraternity. "It would be like starting all over," he said. "It would not help UCF's name. We haven't been in trouble once for the close to 23 years we've been at UCF and they're going to try and kill us for it," he added.
Lavin explained that continued suspension could bankrupt the fraternity by preventing needed income regularly gained during fall rush and with the acceptance of new members. During suspension, an organization can't participate in any university-related or fraternity-related activities, including socials, intramural sports, recruitment and homecoming.
and blah blah blah
ok just a thought, but if a bunch of guys from that school's tj-type dorm had a dude's TWIN BROTHER from another campus wrap him in plastic wrap to impress a girl, it would be laughed off as a harmless dorm prank. but attach letters and it's hazing.

Yeah very true, frats get a bad rap from people who dont know anything about frats. True that fraternities and soroities dont have a great record, but there will always be that one or two dipshits. Just because there is one idiot, doesn't mean that the other 30 guys are like him. Most of the times when you hear of frat incidents, it usually involves less than four people acting of thier own retarded will.
And if your looking for parties, your probably only going to see them during orientation week.
