You really taught them ISU!

To All The Fraternities That Got Kicked Off Campus At Illinois State
Jack McPartlin

As a freshman walking on the Illinois State University campus for the first time, I was approached by these girls telling me to go Greek and how the experience would change your life forever. It seemed interesting, so I went ahead and went through recruitment. In the end, I joined a sorority that I fell in love with. I immediately got involved with the executive board and ran for two positions. One of those positions being president. Throughout my term, I discovered the ridiculous truth behind Greek life that I never thought I would experience, Fraternities.

Get a group of boys together with similar interests and you have trouble. Label them as an organization and throw in alcohol and you have more trouble. Put together alcohol with a group of boys with common interests and you have a fraternity. If there is anything to know about frat boys, you should know that they have a unique brotherhood, they like to wear chubbies, jerseys and bucket hats, and lastly, they love to party. At Illinois State, the frats enjoy a good party whether it be a darty at the lodge, a pregame at their senior house, or a party at their chapter home. Funny but are any of these allowed according to Illinois State’s Greek Council policies…NO.

But do the boys care, not at all. Like I said they have the parties anyway, the cops come or someone snitches, and reports get sent back to the school. The Frat Executive Board has to deal with a bunch of policies that were violated, the frat is on lockdown for a week tops, and before you know it a week later they are planning the “Screw ISU we’re gonna party anyway” party. Then from there, it is a vicious cycle until they are kicked off for good.

But wait that’s not it! After they are kicked off, they go even harder with their parties. Since the supposed worst punishment is over and there is nothing else ISU can do to them as an organization, the boys throw ragers to celebrate their freedom. That is when they order the kegs, throw in more money to the social fund, invite every girl on campus that they know, etc. And then you have yet another underage, unregistered, drinking party.

So what did we get from this? We got about eight fraternities kicked off, more drinking tickets, and even more unregistered parties. HA! You really taught them! It is crazy to me that kicking off each fraternity seems to be the solution on this campus. Sure the university wants to promote appropriate and safe behavior, but is kicking them to the curb the solution instead of keeping the organization on campus and teaching them how to be better? Guess not. So to all the frats that got kicked off campus at Illinois State, party on because partying is what you do best.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
