Right. The Japanese drink themselves brain dead after getting into University and my Oxford kid (UVA) says the drinking at Oxford fatr exceeds anything he ever saw in the States. But if course you know better. …because, why? Oh and let’s talk about the German students at Bier-gardens while we are at ot.

It’s not the drinking that I find funny, it’s the weird cosplaying/juvenile social club thing that people apparently assign outsize important to that I find funny. Like you really have to pay for friends to be considered “cool” by other people who pay for their friends? The whole thing is bizarre and a little childish. So glad I attended university in London and not in some hickish American college where being “Greek” is supposed to be something aspirational. And I’m sure actual Greeks find the whole thing even funnier.

yeah, because surely the british upper crust never paid money to join gay, exclusive social clubs lmao

Are you referring to the Pall Mall clubs like Travelers or The Reform Club? Because there is nothing like the American Greek system at Oxbridge. And I’ve been yo Travelers snd the Reform Club and was also president of a US Soriority. They aren’t comparable on any level

Oxford and Cambridge both have drinking societies / dining clubs where kids get together to get drunk and act like idiots with their friends (the same thing Greek kids do at American schools).

Distinct difference between kids getting together to drink and the weird cosplay/initiation/rushing/faux secret society thing that frats/srats partake in.

It's fascinating to me that THE most "weird/weird cosplay/initiation/rushing/faux secret society thing" in the US is the clubs in the Ivy League (google "Skull & Bones" sometime). But it's the relatively banal southern sororities the set everyone off on a tangent. If it's Yale, it's got to be wonderful, right?

The persecution complex amongst you people who make it a whole point to persecute others based on your contrived social hierarchy is strange indeed!

So, now you've really given the game away. When it's Yale, outsiders just have a "persecution complex," but when it's a state school in the South, the "whole point [is] to persecute others based on [a] *contrived* social hierarchy." It's the same result -- the people on this board condemn the enforcement of a "social hierarchy" when it is in the South, but think it is justified, and, in fact, desirable, when it's the Ivy League. We see here the beautiful irony of the ultimate snobs condemning others that they think are beneath them for having the temerity to be snobs.

Um, what? Greek life anywhere, whether at Yale or Alabama, is cringey and weird. And Greek life anywhere is “based on a contrived social hierarchy”. The whole point of it is to look down on and rank/categorize others. Please move on.

Skull and Bones is a secret society at Yale. It is not a national frat or sorority. Big difference

DP. You do realize Yale has sororities/fraternities too… right?

PP was comparing Skull & Bones to sororities in the south. no comparison.

You’re right - S&B is more elitist and exclusionary than any Greek org, not to mention more heavily focused on drinking simply to get wasted - no philanthropic functions whatsoever. No thanks.

Grant was cut; I read it was likely because she/he/they (not sure what the pronouns are here, trying to be respectful) is a junior transfer and most sororities don't take junior transfers and also. didn't have the grades.

Since he posted a letter that says he was dropped prior to Day 1 this would most likely mean he didn't meet the required GPA to join some chapters. The school has a min GPA to rush but each sorority can define a GPA min limit.

On a side note, Grant was super annoying and no way would I have ever wanted to be a club or organization with them. The constant trying was over the top. Could you imagine that act all the time?
It would have been different if they didn't try and act and were just themselves. It also isn't very clear to me at least that they truly identify as a woman bc they really believe that is who they are meant to be. It looks more like hey I am going to dress up and wear makeup and try this out for a few months and also see if I can go viral!

I was curious about this so I checked his Tok Tok and he posted a new video in which he stated he is not trans and was born a male and identifies as male, so he's a he. He shows his GPA on the screen which is below a 3.2 which is the cut off for most sororities. He is gay, but didn't want to join a fraternity so he wanted to try a sorority. So he basically got cut because he's a male with a low GPA.

So he just wanted to go viral.

Ugh. What’s the point of doing this? To gin up faux outrage that he wasn’t selected? :roll:

I wonder if he is part of the documentary HBO is trying to film on campus and that's why he rushed.

Ho ha, I saw that video. It serves all those crazy woke people who were defending him and saying that it all had to do with transphobia. I hope they feel as silly as they look.
I feel bad for those two sororities who kept inviting them to the rush parties. They must feel pretty duped.

NP here. In that video he said he is friends with all kinds of people, and that he has friends in the far right and the far left. I almost peed my pants. He has friends in the "far right"?! How is that statement not exactly like Trump's Unite the Right "there are good people on both sides" statement. OMFG.

The thing is, those people don't feel silly. They'll just insist their narrative is the correct one and that this young man was not selected because of "transphobia," even though he isn't trans and is indeed a man - and didn't have the GPA. They'll just keep repeating their nonsense and all of them will eat it up, as usual.

Yeah that is true that they will keep insisting that which is crazy since he himself said he is a male and he couldn’t get a bid to join a sorority because they are organizations for women (or for those who identify as women)

If HBO is filming a documentary, the houses did it for attention too. Any junior has about zero chance of getting a bid.

HBO and Vice have confirmed they are filming a documentary. None of the houses I believe are participating, so not sure how I understand your comment re attention.

Doesn’t skull and bones and all those societies have only like 20 seniors per year? It’s not comparable to sororities and frats which have much larger numbers.
