Fraternities Gone Wild, Part ?

[Dick Whitman]

Do Penn State and Nebraska meet up, potentially, in any postseason basketball tournaments? That's typically been the Healing Bowl matchup at Penn State.

Maybe they can have a dance marathon to raise money to help this frat with it's legal costs.

Call it PRON.

Don't be an ass. That has nothing to do with this.

On second thought, that's fine. Have at it. Poke fun at a student charity because the frat boys are cretins. Indicative of this site and where it's gone.

Just about every person in the US of A has put on an athletic event, fundraiser or somesuch to raise money for charity or contributed to one. It's not unusual.

The amount is great, but it's not like they are curing cancer. Unless that $14 million was just what the scientists needed to cure cancer.

Considering the majority of the USA Presidents were "frat" guys according to the show "Greek" on Netflix, this thread is very informative.

You don't understand, brah. THON is different. THON is great. Because THON is done by *drum roll* Penn State. If You put on a fundraiser that raises $20 million and THON raises $10 million, THON is still better because it's *drum roll* Penn State, and yours isn't.

Healing.

Ace, I don't make the connection between the fact that they were one of many student charities and drawing a parallel between THON and a bunch of fraternity criminals. I mean, maybe we can wait until they do something that's, like, bad before pointing and snickering.

It's simply a chain-yanking throwaway line, and in pretty poor taste.

Be kind to the whales because they'll lead you to the Dolphins is kinda funny.

But, umm, yes horrific.

Pi Kappa Phi's response: Hey, at least we're only writing about the stuff and not actually being accused of sexual assault and drug-dealing like the ATOs! Those guys are dicks!

I got the impression that the original THON folks though that raising money had in itself scrubbed the stain off Penn State.

Now we have more stains. Probably cum, beer and vomit stains.

I think there is a fair connection.

Why are they writing idiotic and abusive stuff in a book? Haven't they heard of Twitter?

 

[Ruben Rivas]

The idea of partying and all that stuff sounds very tempting, I have some good friends that are ato, tke, pikap, and kappa sigma, most of them soccer players.

Most likely I will not let my children to join these type of social clubs (assuming that I will make enought money to pay for it) I want my children to play sports or to join science clubs and use their free time in something more productive.

Dont be crazy though, a lot of frat dudes and sorority chicks are good people, there is always a few bad apples but you cant judge everybody for a few dumb ones.

I have some Salvadorian friends that own their own private planes, some of them are douchbags, some of them are good people just like every other social class, not all poor people are nice and honest you know...
