What is the Huddle's views on fraternities?

I don't think this view is huddle specific but imo, there are people who were in a Frat, then everyone else who are haters. Lol, just kidding. I enjoyed Frat life, it had its perks about it, I am sure if I didn't join a Frat, I would have been just fine. Being active in it, taught me some intangibles like leadership, recruiting, negotiations, comrodery. And there were other perks like sorority girls, formals, mountain weekends, Greek week events, competitions, having your own house on campus to party in.

I am glad I got to experience that life, it really did help me mature and grow as a man. My Frat was not your typical cookie cutter bunch of douchebags, which I think made my experience different than most.

I think we had a thread on this a while back. Everyone was pretty much half and half.

It goes both ways. Youve got the frattastic ones, the douche ones, both mixed together, more laid back ones, etc.

Where I went to college it was about 85% greek life. I wasn't in a sorority but all my friends were greek. I enjoyed chillin with guys from a couple frats and some of them are still my best friends today.

Some of the other fraternities were just horrible though.

Who has parties with no alcohol? Ridiculous

i didn't pledge a single one, but kinda wish i had. i did go to parties thrown by them almost every weekend, and routinely met poon at them. one can only imagine what it would have been like if i had been a brother and went to the mixers with the hot sorostitutes.

Paying for friends isn't my thing. I don't live in Carolina though so obviously people will have differing points of view than I do.

I was in one in college......many of my best friends back then remain so today. Good thing overall imo.

Brother and VP for undergrad.

Joined a professional one in grad school.

Excellent for networking, meeting people, and socializing.

Both did solid philanthropy work too.

No complaints from me.

Anyone that automatically has an opinion on all fraternities at every school should really question his or her willingness to generalize people, and one has to wonder if they do that sort of thing with other types of people.

Depends on the quality of the frat.

So peoples experience of fraternities vary. I almost was initiated into one, but I saw the writing on the wall and saw that it was a sinking ship, so me and my pledge brothers decided against joining, and we are still happy with the decision today.

I think the best frats are ones who dont take themselves too seriously, but at the same time they value their friendships inside the fraternity more than the actual fraternity. And, they have thriving friendships with people outside of that group.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Wow I can’t believe the panthers tried to trade up, failed, but still got the guy they wanted to trade up for. I wonder if anyone else has ever said that next you’ll tell me they had Hunter and Brazzell graded as first rounders.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think people are saying that picking up the option is a call for the pitchforks. We would have had to do things differently a couple of years back to make declining the option a valid move. We didn’t and here we are. People largely accept that. The pattern it adheres to, reinforces the nausea we feel when the idea of an extension, and at top of the market no less, comes up.  One that he hasn’t shown he deserves.   Same as he did not deserve to be drafted 1.1. Look at Pavia and what really is the difference? Bryce is a nice guy and Pavia is an asshole lol. They are both no margin for error non day one talents. One went undrafted.  Probably should have been drafted day three anyway. The other was way over drafted.

      We hate losing. I don't know Bryce to hate him. His play as a QB, I absolutely hate. It's just not good enough. If there were a lottery held to select the order and all 32 starting QBs could be drafted as the starting QB for whatever team selected them, how long do you think it would be before Bryce's name was called? Top 10, top 20, bottom 8? Think about it.  For me, having never seen back to back games with franchise QB level performance in 3 years tells me what I need to know. We still need to be looking for our solution at QB.
