I was in a fraternity and none of that ever happened.

We had beach parties in our basement, complete with several tons of sand we dumped through the windows. Smoked, and sold, a lot of weed. Drank a lot of 40's and ate a lot of Twinkies for breakfast.

I guess we did do a few panty raids and pull a few fire alarms but that was about the extent of it.

The real bonding happens when it's your classes turn to haze the pledges for the first time.

Could you switch, or do they hunt you down and kill you for being a traitor?

One of my best high school friends joined a frat, and to my shock he loved it. He didn't seem like the fraternity type at all. So like anything else, I'm sure that individual experiences can vary wildly.

I'll admit that I had a very bad formative experience that made me despise fraternities. My father owned a used car lot that was half a block away from the TKE frat house. The fraternity members would come out in the middle of the night and kick out the windows of his cars just for fun. He got several of them arrested eventually, but the president of the fraternity and other officers lied to the police to try to cover for the criminals who got caught. The TKE house was nothing but an organized criminal gang, so that was my perception of all fraternities when I went into college.

Watkins and Rogers would be best friends....

I could surely have just dropped, sat out and pledged differently next round. Saw it done and the animosity between him at our frat was large and carried over to his new frat. Stupid stuff. They did want to kick me out as a pledge but my brother said if I go he goes.

The thing is,what do they do now? I'm assuming it's more wussy now after possible deaths or what ever from years ago

My freshman roommate was a TKE (just like Aaron Rodgers! :eek: ) and that chapter got shutdown years later for sexually assaulting girls. A few guys in that frat, including my roommate, made me feel like the university's degrees were participation certificates, even though I'm sure they all cheated with each other (apparently a benefit of being in a frat?) for their communications degrees.

Needless to say, I'm not exactly the type who thinks someone needs a college degree for certain jobs or that it's any indication of intelligence. At all.

In college, free food is a real thing. Or it was when I was in school.

I never rushed, but my brother did. Worked out for him as he made tons of contacts and those relationships have served him well in his career.

As for the article, I guess I just don't see much of an issue. Rodgers didn't do anything that I can point to and say, "oh, that's beyond the pale." It reads like typical college/frat type shenanigans. And this was pretty early in his career right? So he wasn't that many years removed from college? I don't see how this is weird.

Having now read it, I actually like him a lot more

Still an aloof looking prick at times, but this shows a more relatable side of him

He's an egotistical mfer, no doubt the signing of Love is whats behind his more engaged and intense looking start this year... but maybe he's not all bad after all

Pretty much the same here
We were the geeks
Highest gpa
Lots of weed
Couldn’t score with the ugliest castaways on campus, though

Found it odd he's a possible chemtrail conspiracy nut.

Govt ready said they can seed clouds or change weather. Chemtrails aren't a conspiracy.. they are reality

I dont find it odd at all that you are a chemtrail conspiracy nut.

It's called WEATHER MODIFICATION. You should read a book about it. Your tax dollars at work.

Correct.
