Students Perspective on the Game

[Who'sYourData?]

 

 

You are telling me it is going to say explicitly that you cannot participate in tailgating events or you will be suspended?

Or is the system afraid to go because they think pledges will make their way to the tailgate and it will be considered hazing?

More the latter. One could definitely be considered hazing if they are seen drinking and out of fear say someone in the fraternity told them to drink to save their own butt. In florida if a chapter is found guilty of hazing their president and another member (their title varies by chapter) also gets arrested. 

 

Also seeing a brother talk to someone going through recruitment could be considered "dirty rushing" in which case that fraternity could be barred from taking new members this recruiting cycle

In these days of cell phone photos, I'd imagine the greek organizations could easily turn each other in.

Ha. Funny story. Great fraternity prank. On thanksgiving, make a huge plate of food and get a 12 pack. Then get a jersey made of your most hated rival fraternity. Then take the food and beer and drive down fletcher ave or bearss til you find a bum. Tell him he gets the food and beer as long as he will wear the jersey. He'll wear it for the next month. Classic.

Yeah, I'm confused.  Just go to the game

Hate to go all Willie T and blast the Greeks but you've got to be kidding me???  There couldn't be some sort of truce between the families for one day, the biggest home game of the season ... for the better good of the football team?  ... I'm sorry, there's a simple solution for this, either from USF itself or from the fraternities themselves. Can't believe that this is going on all over the country for games this weekend ...

Sorry I was at dinner but Greeks are currently in recruitment meaning that we are recruiting the freshmen to join each of our organizations. First off let me say that since the hazing scandals that plagued the news a few years ago USF's greek has become one of the strictest I have ever heard of. (That is based on me having conversations with greeks from other universities and living through it myself and having to deal with some of the ridiculous rules we have)

 

Recruitment is set up different by the genders so I will explain

 

For the women:

 

Last night was at the discretion of each organizations president whether they would allow their chapter to attend the game as they had recruitment at about 7:30 this morning. Some organizations presidents allowed them to attend some didnt. I would say about 50% of the chapters were allowed to go. But this saturday the ladies actually have their second to last day of recruitment on saturday. (The second to last day arguably being the most important day in their recruitment as that is when you decided which you will be joining.) The girls will start about 8am saturday and wont be done until wayyyyyy after the game finishes. So all of the ladies who are in organizations already and all of the 600 freshman girls who are going through recruitment will not be allowed to attend the game.

 

For the men:

 

This is another recruitment conflict and has to do with USFs harsh greek rules. We will be in recruitment by next saturday and at that point we will not be able to talk to any perspective young men looking to join a fraternity especially cant have the danger of them attending a tailgate  . Therefore most of the fraternity presidents are going to bar their chapter from attending the game and tailgating in order to protect the organization from getting suspended. (I know how insane that sounds but fraternities have been suspended lately for much less). I know of a few organizations that are going to watch the games together at their respective houses instead of risking going to the game.  Its just not worth going to the game and being found to violate one of the rules and make the whole organizations suffer.

 

 

I can clarify if something doesnt make sense thats a really condensed version. I would love to talk to someone about the greek community partnering with athletics. Mr. Harlan has done an AMAZING job getting with student government but I feel as if he is yet to tap into the greek community as a resource. 

 

in summary: Greek rhymes with ECU.

Can't the ladies do their all day rush event on Sunday? Seems like maybe there's some history here from before we had football...time to evolve!
