Are GLV crags better?

by: I’m a freshman

I’m a freshman.

I visited my older brother last year at a different college that had amazing frat houses. That trip to visit him is what part of the reason I’m thinking of going into Greek life here at ASU.

BUT, then I see the GLV. No parties? Everyone living in a room like a dorm? I don’t want to have to live essentially in a dorm both freshman and sophomore year.

Is it even worth it to rush a frat that is in the GLV? Will I be forced to live in there? It seems like a way just for ASU to police them. And really, no partying in there? What’s even the point then? Just to have meetings. And how often do frats even have meetings?

truthfully the glv sucks and i wouldn’t recommend living there to anyone. you wanna be in a plex or off-campus house.

The way I look at it;
GLV kinda seems like a dorm. I’m already doing that this year.

I don’t want to spend 50% of my college life in a dorm situation.

But, my big concern. Will I be forced to live in it? Are they lying if they say it’s optional? If I don’t live in GLV with my pledge brothers, am I missing out?

Or am I just making a big deal out of this?

use your common sense. GLV is just a living area to house some of the members. people live in satellite houses among tempe to party and such. ASU even with lack of greek row is still far superior to UofA and Tucson. even being handicapped by Michael Crow were miles above in terms of looks and socials. it isn’t a requirement to have a GLV nor live in it. most people that have them regret them heavily.

ya it’s pretty common to have houses force people to live in the glv if they don’t get enough volunteers. it’s a big expense for each frat that isn’t really worth it but they signed agreements with asu so don’t have a choice til they expire

spot on glv is pretty much exactly like dorms. maybe the only advantage is that theyr closer to campus than houses but lots of brothers live in off campus apartments near campus that are just as close and don't have the asu rules.

if you have to stay in the glv for a year you'll still have a good time but i wouldn't volunteer for it

The glv is a blast for whoever lives in it. It’s not like you lose out on parties because your fraternity should still have plenty of houses outside of the glv. The only people that complain about the glv are the ones that don’t have one

So, the frat houses/parties I went to visit last year were not even in AZ. Back at UT.

my questions;
If they do force members to live there, and they need to force 20 or 30 guys… how do they pick which 20 guys are being forced in? If a pledge class is 40 or 50 guys. How does the frat pick which ones?

I really really really don’t want to live there.
