fraternities
by: SeminolesCan anyone please help me out or give me advice on this topic. I just finished my freshman year at FSU and rushed a fraternity in the fall. I thought it was a great fit for me and met amazing people through the process. I went through the entire pledging process and it took up a lot of my time. I got close with a few guys in my pledge class, but never really found the time to meet the older brothers. Of course I knew who everyone was and they knew who I was, but never really had those conversations you should be having with your fraternity brothers. I've had good times there, but I just know this isn't the fraternity I'm supposed to be in. I talk to about 10 guys and have close friendships with them out of 150...which I think defeats the point of being in a fraternity because you're supposed to be comfortable with most of the people. I know it's unrealistic to be friends with all 150 or so, but I feel like I should have more things in common than with just 10 people. I put myself out there trying to meet them this semester, and I still don't feel like it's the right place for me. If I drop, I won't have any friends at FSU since everyone I know and my social life revolves around my fraternity. Staying in it won't be awful, but I just don't know what to do at this point because I know I could be happier some place else. Did this happen to anyone else and what did you do about it? Thank you!

happier somewhere else? If you pledged in the fall like your posting says then you must already be initiated. If you are initiated, and now a brother you can "drop" but you can't join a different frat. Are you sure you are really in a fraternity because most would know this. Plus, how can we sit and tell you what you think you should do since you know 10 of your brothers instead of 150? I am thinking this post is a fake.

I'm so sorry this happened to you! :( The rush process is far from perfect and just because it works out for a lot of people, there's a good amount that end up in the wrong spot. My best advice is to just wait again for this fall and give it another go around! There will be so many activities like tailgates and parties and pomping with your paired sorority so you will be doing all new things and meeting new people, maybe it will turn around. If you still aren't comfortable after that time you may want to consider dropping so you don't waste all of that money in dues :/

I read it again. You don't like your frat and you made a mistake because you could be happier somewhere else. Your choices: 1) go back and make a point of meeting and becoming close with more guys from your frat; 2) drop out and volunteer at the local pound to take up your time or join a club; 3) spend your time studying harder or 4) do nothing.
Your choices!

Lol this post definitely isnt a fake...the reason why im asking for advice on what to do is because i know that once im initiated, i cant rush another fraternity. thats really the whole point of the post that i guess you didnt understand. thats the point im stuck at. im initiated and cant rush a different fraternity and im unhappy, so what do i do? and i didnt say i only know 10 brothers, i said im only close with 10 of the 150. all 150 know me and i know them. Please if youre not going to take the time to actually read what i said dont comment.
