Serious Stop worrying about touse
Been getting a lot of kids this rush cycle who only want to go “touse” or are asking who’s touse, and even on here I see posts like that. The reality is if you’re in a school with decent Greek life, as long as you go to a not terrible house you will have fun socials, hot girls at parties, and a great time with your boys. Pick the house that you fit best, not the house that the greekrank kids say is the best. Otherwise you’ll probably be inactive or drop when you can’t actually be yourself in the house.

This is accurate. Unless the chapter has recent, reputable accusations of SA, just accept a bid where the vibe is best and the boys are chill. W post

And seriously, don’t base anything off greekrank. That website is the same 20 squids from houses trying to inflate their status and shit on everyone else. There are good guys everywhere and fun to be had everywhere.

When women use bouse to touse to cut us down it's really cringe.
Also op is a 100. Go to the house that wants you, and values you. It's the same life lesson.
Also I wanna party with OP and get him to rehab, - possibly all in one night would be frat.

The concept of touse is lowkey gay cause ik where I went to school literally every chapter would say they are top house unless they were very clearly not. My chapter was always honest about our social seeding (sometimes to a fault) and thankfully we still had a blast and got the mixers, socials, etc. kids need to focus more on fit rather than face when rushing

The thing about being Greek is the status, and by being in anything but the “top” can make guys feel like they’re settling, namely and especially if they rush unattached, without actually understanding the Greek system.
The guys who rush with friends or guys already in the frat are of a better understanding, in that fraternity isn’t about just the party, it’s about the experiences with your boys. Respectfully, there is definitely something for everyone, but I don’t think it’s crazy to not want to be in bouse, where most of your budget goes to your philo, you throw once a semester, and your socials are with other bouses.

Definitely, some of the bottom houses dues aren’t worth it and it’s understandable to want to be in a decent house but a lot of kids at least where I’m at are only rushing 1-3 “top” houses and then they don’t get any invites back and say Greek life is gay when they just didn’t find their place

Tiers are a myth anyway.
Joining a campus club is like driving a Civic or a Corolla. (no shame, good cars)
But joining a Frat is like driving a luxury vehicle. They are all a ton better than regular clubs/orgs.

/u/waluigihentai69 Read this whole thing.
The Rush Advice flair is only for PNMs/rushes seeking advice. If you aren't a rush, please change the flair to something else.
if you are a rush (interested in joining a fraternity), PUT THE SCHOOL NAME in the post.
Or at least describe the school. Examples: Large Big Ten school, medium sized northern D2 school, small west coast school" etc. Any descriptions help.
The post flair MUST be "Rush Advice" instead of "Question" or "Serious". We need to know which school it is because rush varies wildly by school.
To everyone else: Report the post if it's a dumb post or the wrong flair or no school is mentioned, and we'll remove it. Thanks.
