poll: lambda or du ?

fake news that phi delt takeover of lambda was hostile. lambda underclassmen strongly supported phi delt boosting lambda. a small group of weak upperclassmen had mixed feelings at first because they worried about the heat phi delt might bring on lambda from u of m for going rogue. they were told from the beginning the ifc would be cool and u of m would ignore it cuz they have far bigger problems. now the hater are irrelevant. all is good.

i think when people say hostile they mean that the two brotherhoods don't get along. Of course Lambda underclassmen want the boost but that doesn't mean that phi delt didn't come in and totally obliterate Lambda's Eboard and start running the show without any input from the OG Lambda's. Friend of mine pledged lambda last year and apparently the two brotherhoods keep pretty much separate from each other, phi delts pretend they don't exist lol

Doesn't matter what OG Lambda thinks at this point. Guys join fraternities for the future not the past. Lambda is just a name for Phi Delt to carry on in the IFC without the rules of its ridiculous national headquarters. Phi Delt is better than ever before and that's why guys will join. Phi Delt made "Lambda's" name relevant, and OG Lambda should thank them not throw shade.

Lmfao I wouldn't wanna be an og lambda post merge once I realized that even with the social bump I'm ostracized in my own house. What's the point of pregaming with dg if none of them even talk to you Bc you weren't a part of the fraternity that they decided to PGP with and when the phidelts treat you like crap ?its not even their house anymore it's kinda a shame honestly

the point is that og lambdas can at least say they are members of a relevant frat that can recruit solid pc's and mix with respectable sororitys because of phi delt. yeah so the underclassmen sold out the upperclassmen by giving the frat to phi delt, but any hater juniors or seniors should focus more on graduating than the frat anyway. at least the hater og lambdas will be able to return as alums and pretend they made the house cool. in a couple years no one will remember how weak lambda was before the phi delt takeover.

Socially they're practically identical bro what are you smoking lol^^^

From the outside looking in they seem pretty similar but what’s the point of a poll if people are just gonna say that the results are self ranks lol. People prolly just have a preference considering they mix with the same crowd

Can you do math? 110 votes on a thread with 130 views is totally logical lol

I’m assuming that comment was more about the fact that it’s unlikely that 110 people care this much about the difference between lambda and du and if du’s vote skyrocketed out of nowhere it likely follows that this post is just a self rank battle. Both houses are upper mid. Can we kill this post now?

Yeah I mean when you say lambda had twice as many votes yesterday as du you're referring to what, 23/10 or something? It's really not that implausible that people just voted in favor of du. Like someone said in the comments above what's the point in a poll if people are just going to call the results self ranks regardless of outcome

Thanks for the input xi^

Hey now, every mid has goobers, it’s just a matter of how goobery they are. Adapt and overcome

solid analysis, spot on. this sitch is super weird b/c the ifc does not recognize phi delt but lambda doesn't really exist anymore.

Solid point that everyone still calls phi delt phi delt and sigep is just du now. Proves the merge worked much better for du imo

this just shows what a big joke the ifc is. they suspend a frat, and then the frat "merges" to keep going like nothing happened. the whole greek system is collapsing one house at a time. u of m loves mergers because every merger means one less frat to worry about. at this rate of decline there will be zero relevant frats left on campus in about 5 years.

^maybe all u of m frats will go down eventually, but at least they'll go down swinging!

^^so when a kid pledges, does he say he is joining phi delt or lambda?

Idk if this is true for you but in my experience all the lambda pledges I know say they’re lambda pledges whereas du pledges say they’re pledging “sigep-du”. Not sure how people can judge the success of the merger without actually being in those houses to experience it

The point is that everyone on campus still calls phi delt phi delt. Whether or not the pledges call themselves lambda doesn't matter. No one calls sigep sigep anymore which in my eyes means that their merge has been smoother.

Wait, so Phi Delt controls "Lambda," and OG Lambdas don't come around anymore because they aren't respected, but new guys still pledge "Lambda" which everyone calls Phi Delt? I don't know any Lambdas or Phi Delts, so someone please explain to me how this brotherhood works?

it's a battle of the middle weights and the du greek rank chair has nothing better to do

Because it’s lambda, not phi delt. People who say otherwise don’t know what they’re talking about. For some reason people just insist on continuing to refer to post-merger lambda as phi delt
