They recruit freshmen who fit that mold to keep their place at the top of the campus pecking order. Clearly, they saw something in your son that they didn’t see in his roommates. Instead of questioning it or worrying about them, he should take it as proof that he has what it takes to be somebody who's somebody on campus. He should go to every event he’s invited to, secure a bid, and enjoy being a top dog for the next 3.5 years, getting invites to the best parties and tailgates and dating/hooking up with the best-looking girls. And thanks to the lucrative alumni networks top-tier houses plug you into, he’ll also graduate with better opportunities and make more money.

Do you have some kind of alert set for this topic that prompts you to come and post? You forgot the "campus god" bit this time.

Also "sorority dime".

Yes and happens everywhere.
Especially notorious at Michigan, Cornell, Vanderbilt, Dartmouth, Duke, even though it’s off campus & Northwestern.

yes, i was about to post the same thing. How the heck do you respond to every single fraternity post within 5 minutes flat?

It’s funny. Like the Pipeline poster who stops stacking cheese to make a post. If only the Holy Cross poster had a sense of humor.

So the key to the invite is to be good looking and have a really good public instagram?

No it’s go to a feeder high school. Or know people. Network summer before you get there.

This has to be a joke. If you want to continue the stereotypes don’t forget how alcoholism comes with the territory. southern fraternities are full of MAGA idiots who just make the standard 2.5 gpa, date rape is common and they have zero respect for women. It’s not for everyone.

OP here. DS is extremely attractive, like movie star good looking, for an 18 year old. He dresses really well and back packed through Europe so his social media is full of images of Italy, Switzerland etc. He’s confident, leadership positions, has tons of friends, hosts great parties and has tons of charisma. He’s also gay and slightly left of Bernie Sanders. His only interest in Fortune 500 companies is to take them down to stop draining the middle and lower income classes. He uses his intellect to engage GenZ guys who think they are MAGA slowly showing them that there is more to that quick sound bite or post they saw and what they think they might have supported isn’t what they thought and against their interest. He prides himself on having open conversations to get people from falling into MAGA holes.

I guess your brethren didn’t see that coming…

Yeeeeeesh... and here I thought the PP was insufferable.

They definitely need to be well-endowed so the guy next to him can easily hold on during an elephant walk, and so they can better satisfy their pledge master when ramming him up the pooper.

This isn’t what my sons are experiencing at two SEC schools. My take is there are certain frats reserved for kids from the state and traditional southern states and other frats (including top tier) that draw heavily from across the country. Since my kids are from blue states up north, they are in diverse frats with kids from all over—with different political views.

The biggest thing that jumps out is affluence: frat boys come from money. There aren’t any poor kids. These kids are well traveled, athletic/fit, and outgoing.

In terms of recruitment: most kids reach out to frats and that’s how they get info and invites. Some frats proactively reach out, but that is more prevalent at less popular frats at schools with less popular green systems. Supply and demand is a thing.

If they are recruiting and the roommates are interested, they should just ping the rush chair. Attending the events/parties is a way to check it out without committing.

Fwiw, travel pics on social media are a good thing for kids who rush.

Weirdly (or not) I think the SEC schools and some of the less selective flagships are more egalitarian than schools like UVA, Michigan, Dartmouth, Cornell, Vanderbilt, USC, Duke, Penn and Northwestern. There its all about your network and who you know.
