Not only is that false but you've managed to poorly stereotype the whole Greek society. </div></div>
That's funny and there IS a lot of truth in that statement, my best friend in college was the President of his fraternity and the pledges were required to answer his phone calls at all hours of the night. We'd always have one drive a group of us around on weekends to bars and parties. The punishments for not answering a brothers call were funny, diverse and character building. One of the brothers would make another pledge dress up like God and "smite" the offender with an electonic dog collar. </div></div>
That must have been a few years ago because the whole Greek society has adopted a strict anti-hazing policy that includes things as minor as degrading talk. Phone calls wouldn't likely fall under the hazing category but a dog collar would certainly get the frat/sorority kicked off campus and the participants jailed. I'm noticing you and the OP are both non-Greek though so I'm thinking that your friend was either Greek a few years ago or has 'embellished' their stories because it just doesn't work that way anymore and when it does not only is the house kicked off campus but the offenders usually face criminal charges in the real world and are almost always expelled. I see it all the time, I've sat on the IFC council for four years (until this Dec) and I hear all the stories so I know it still happens but I also vote on the punishments and they're always severe. Texas is all about being Greek and they don't mess around. I bet TN is the same...
It also worth noting that there are a lot of Greek houses that aren't party/douche-baggery related such as honor societies and engineering houses (mine) that really exist for the purpose of getting people into grad schools. There's no house where people live and the parties are just pizza parties with reps from grads schools wooing students or speakers from professional societies like ASME and STLE (both of which I'm a member). The tools just give the rest of the Greeks a bad rap.</div></div>
Seems I might be a little bit older than you.......
I did the greek thing my freshman year and it wasn't for me, not much of a fan of having some "all about it" d-bag telling me what I am going to do. I wasn't really crazy about the school either so I transfered to the school I really wanted to go to in the first place my sophmore year. I wasn't going to pay the $300 a month dues at the new school to be in a fraternity, fucking re-dick-u-luss. Most of the fraternity people I hung out with were good guys, not douche bags like popped collar guy. The real douches were the ones that were "all about it", lived and breathed fraternity bs and found a way to bring the subject up in a conversation about anything.....them, and the alumni that graduated 10 years ago, don't know anyone in the fraternity but still show up at parties and try to pick up on girls they have no chance with.
