How many frat boys do we have here?

One would think that someone of a college level education would understand the difference between a serious message and a joke. Had I meant what I had said I would have backed it with points as to why I felt such a way.

Ah well the voices of obfuscation no doubt have a response, I am all ears

Ouch shining you were a Pika?

They just got booted off UNR campus two semesters ago, for killing one of their initiates...now it wouldn't have been so bad if he had died in some horrific stunt.

But he died in Manzanita lake (a lake on school).

It's about 15 feet at the deepest.

And he drowned near the shore, about 5 feet lol....

Poor Pikas

I'm not sure what there is to LOL about. Someone died. That's not funny.

Sorry if I sound harsh. When I was a junior, one of our pledges drown...in a lake. It was not at all funny. And no, we didn't kill him. It was an accident. He couldn't swim, and he was embarassed to tell anyone, so nobody was watching him when he went in the water. It was absolutely horrible for everyone involved.

So, actually, it's not funny.

Actually further reflection on this has better refined my answer.

The case here is much similar to yours only it had less to do with "afraid to tell others and no one was watching" with an 18 year old drinking as much booze as he can and jumping in with 15 other 18 year olds in freezing water and popping up dead the next morning...no one even noticed all that time.

So I don't really feel much sympathy for the guy...though no one should HAVE to die.

But when it's in the hands of the person dying, I tend to show less remorse.

Especially since they were totally breaking the law anyways...there fate is entitled to do as it will and I'm not one to question fate's judgement.

Wow, you are quite the paragon of compassion. Are you by chance a republican?

Hey unusual...guess who....

Another TKE. There are some interesting postings on this messagbe board. I do however notice lots of questions with very few answers in most message threads....

No need to get heated over it, it was harmless.

Good old Stumpy. So nice to "see" you again.

I am a Sigma Kappa alumna. You can find me checking out the threads regarding fraternity/sorority info. u2u me if you have an interest in discussing these organizations, as my Greek experience is one I feel passionately about

I'm a Kappa Alpha Order alum (initiated 1987) I'm also a Free Mason a Knight of Pythias and member of some other fraternal societies. ...and I collect fraternal society ritual/ceremonial books.

Qwerty all you have to do is ask. They cant invite you, so that means you must initiate all contact with your local lodge. I am currently petitioning my lodge, and I will tell you that it is different in every state. Here in GA you must have your petition signed by another Master Mason from the area and then they assign an investigation committee to come and visit you and your wife if you have one. Nothing too serious they just ask questions about where you are from where you work, and what your about. It was a really nice visit in my case. Once the lodge receives the petition and the committee reports, then they will take a vote on allowing you to become an entered apprentice. Its been nothing but fun in my case so far. Good Luck.

...Bear with me its my first post.

I'm an alumnus of Tau Kappa Epsilon.

I saw in another thread that "batman" is also in a fraternity.

So, who else here is a frat boy?
