Fraternity Life

The Rush Is On (a.k.a.The Buffalonian Candidates)

The guys of Sigma Chi Omega are a down-to-earth group that sure knows how to party. They are the self-described Animal House of the University at Buffalo but can still be responsible to keep up their GPAs. They consider themselves family and uphold the values of loyalty, honesty and brotherhood. At the first rushee event, we meet Alex and his twin brother Adam. Alex pledged the fraternity back in their freshman year, but left because his girlfriend didn't want him to pledge. He swears the decision had nothing to do with the girl and he's decided to give it another shot this semester. The brothers don't know if they want to give him a second bid after he ditched them once before. They have a few more rush events with the brothers that include go-cart racing and a trip to Hooters, where some of the brothers seem to get upset with Grant. He's getting to know the waitresses a lot better than the guys, which is not the intended purpose of the gathering. Another upsetting thing the brothers

Pledges Come and Pledges Go (a.k.a. Hello, Goodbye)

At an emergency meeting, the brothers finally make a decision on who to give bids to. They decide that they will give bids to rushees who receives 80% of the brothers' approval instead of the previous 90% needed. They hand out bids to the pledges by showing up where everyone lives. Because of his cocky attitude, Grant does not receive a bid and is really upset. Hanging out with brother Adam's girlfriend was probably not such a good tactic in hindsight. After getting his bid, Alex begins to have second thoughts again about accepting because of his girlfriend. He's so nervous, he pukes in the water fountain. Ew! He ends up deciding that he wants to do this for himself and he accepts the bid. All the pledges show up at the house for their ""last night of freedom"" before the pledging process begins. Matt tells the President, Colin, that his parents are having some concerns about his decision to join a fraternity. Despite his apprehension he continues to pledge with all the other guys. The d

Line Me Up, Line Me Down (a.k.a. Rage, Lies and Videotape)

Earl's true colors are starting to come out, and Steve isn't putting in 100%; this is causing conflict with the pledges and getting the brothers extremely upset. At their lineup, the guys receive numbers, which the brothers will call them by. They are also given more rules which include no guests, even family. They are also required to spend Union hours with the brothers to get to know them better. Steve is constantly missing this and the brothers won't tolerate it. Earl has a very large case of road rage. He had asked the guys not to use profane language while he was calling his mother, but they did. Those boys can't control their potty mouths! He slams on the breaks and the guys are stranded while he refuses to give up the keys. Finally Alex, being the rational one, gets him to give up the keys so they can get to where they need to go and not be late. Steve is seen with some girls outside of the house by a few of the brothers. He is reminded by Ryan that they aren't allowed in the ho
