Is Fraternity/Sorority A Must in Schools?

**viper888** · July 7th, 2014 10:17 PM

A lot of schools have a policy of expulsion if a student is a member of a frat. In my 5 years of college I never met a single frat, its just orgs and more orgs for people who want to feel special.
Then again, I took a course where our building was in the far side of the campus, and because its an art course with a ton of math, there are many gays (unfortunately plenty of lesbians as well). Other than the occasional catfight, no violence.
I have one female friend who was asked (she is the only one I know) but she declined because she knows she will just get f*cked.

Back in college I was bullied by a frat group. Lumipat na lang ako ng college/university kasi araw araw sila kung mang-asar. Hirap maging nerd hehehe. Pero ok yung nilipatan ko, mixed culture. I found a lot of friends na kahit graduate na kami for a long time nagkikita-kita pa rin for bonding, bili ng tools, sharing of ideas. Inalis ko yung majority ng details for my own protection hehehe, but even the memory of frat and bullying prods me closer to buying a gun.

May brothers din kasi kami na mga pari/imam/ pastor na member nang frat namin kaya ibang iba ang culture namin sa ibang frat.

Mga appointed member sila, mga spiritual adviser kasama yan sa aming doctrina regardless of religion. Isa lang ang Grand Master namin si GOD.

Hindi kami nagrerecruit nang sapilitan. We call it invites kasama na dun ang pagpapaliwanag kung ano ano ang kanilang responsibility bilang isang member via social, spiritual and pansariling responsibility sa family.

First stage : Interview ( Dapat maganda ang pananaw nila sa frat, hindi ang away dahil ni isa sa amin hindi pwedeng ipagsabi na member sila kung malaman na ipinagsabi tanggal kaagad ) susunod IQ and EQ test ( mataas ang passing grade namin kailangan nasa 90% ang makuha mong grade )
Second Satge : Endurance and Physical Test ( may trainings na pinagagawa katulad nang rigid exercises --- para malaman kung gaano sila kapursigido na sumali --- dito madami ang umaayaw )
Last Stage : Follow the Leader ( a good leader kailangan munang maging isang good follower ) dito madaming inuutos na hindi naman sila mapapahiya sa kapwa nila katulad nang sukating ang track and field oval sa pamamagitan nang ruler nang paikot sa sikat nang araw.

Walang sakitan sa amin... Kung member kana may monthly contribution kami para sa mga kapos palad naming member katulad nang pagmay nagkasakit, hindi na kayang pag aralin nang magulang pero magaling ang utak, social activities nang simbahan or civic groups.

Madami pa at pinakamaganda sa amin ay pagwala kang makuhang trabaho ang mga alumni namin na mayayaman at may mga negosyo kadalasan dun nakakapasok nang trabaho.

Grand Master? Mason ba yan bro?

Sila lang yung familiar ako na gumagamit niyan.

Though baka hindi kasi yung mga kaibigan kong mason parang hindi naman required na itago yung membership nila - yung isa nga nasa temporary conduction plate pa ng kotse niya pati lodge number niya.

Boss hindi po kami MASON pero halos katulad namin po ang doctrina nila ang pinagkaiba may spiritual adviser kami at iba pa.

Ang may mga MASON na plate ay pinagbabawal nang totoong MASON.

hindi ba kasama sa doctrina nila na hindi sila nagpapakilala na MASON sila.

Masonic rules demand that members support each other and keep each others' lawful secrets, ... kasama sa lawful secrets ay pagiging member? Tama ba ako?

"Researching them, you do become rather sympathetic. ( research kung sino ang member pero kung panlalandakan nila na member sila parang walang saysay )

A couple of weeks ago I saw several MASON cars sa Loyola Memorial. Wake ata ng member nila.

You see Mason plates and stickers everywhere. It's not like they're keeping it a secret. Yet they tell you it's a secret society and you have to be invited to be able to join. There are even Ask One to Be One stickers. I think there's a Real Secret Masons Society but in this country it's an open secret, if you can still call it a secret. Some even brag about it and use it in an un-Masonic way.

To answer the question. No, hindi neccessity ang frat/soro sa school.

I am a member from UP. Connections will find you as you grow and make a name..

Greek letters are like plate covers.. nice to have but not a neccessity.
