FRATERNITIES

[HANNAH BANANA]

Colours: Red & Gold
Mascot: Lion

The boys of Alpha Phi Nu are the coolest, hottest guys on campus according to almost anybody you ask. They're really good at the sport they've chosen to play, which makes them the male counterparts of the Lambda Kappa Mu sorority, or they've somehow managed to prove themselves worthy of wearing the badge that symbolizes their fraternity house. And if you want to be one of them, then you had best be prepared to do something embarrassing and dangerous in order to show them that you have the guts to be a member of the red and gold fraternity. Many of them are interested in the girls of Delta Pi because of their looks, but they're also keeping their eyes on the house of Lambda Kappa Mu for all of their little escapades off the field because they know that these girls will do their best to keep up with them. Needless to say, these boys generally end up with a reputation for being players, the kind of guys who don't settle down easily, if ever. And they're okay with that. The house itself is large enough for every member of the fraternity to live in if they choose, though a number of them also enjoy ruling the dormitory houses as well.

Much like the ladies of Beta Chi Nu, these are the boys who think that getting good grades is the only way to be successful in life. You have to have a great GPA in order to be accepted into this brotherhood, where they monitor your academic performance as if they have nothing else to do with their time. They frown heavily upon the idea of belonging to a non-academic club or society while you're in school, dislike the idea of sports entirely, and cannot stand the other fraternities for the way they are treated. But heaven forbid you should ever allow your grades to slip beyond an acceptable level, because these boys can be downright nasty in how they deal with you. there was once a time when people were woken at an ungodly hour by epsilon mu because they were drumming one of their own out of the house the way one might have been drummed out of the army a long time ago. The boy was forced to have his hands tied behind his back and walked between two lines of his brotherhood, all of whom held torches in their hands, while he was clad only in his underwear and forced to walk down the long street toward the main building on campus. If you value your education then you're likely to find a room in the house, though there are those who live in the dormitories and hope that they aren't too greatly disturbed.

From the outside, there really doesn't seem to be a whole lot that would make the Gamma Theta Gamma house stand out from the rest. The house isn't overly organized because the boys aren't really the type to care about appearances, and they're not really the ones who care about what others think of them. However, since most of these boys are artists in some way, they are incredibly protective of the lifestyle that they have chosen for themselves and will not tolerate anyone slamming them for it. They're one of the most relaxed fraternities on campus, inviting to outsiders because of their non-judgmental way of life. If nothing else, they provide a bit of a shelter to those who want to belong to something without getting beat up for belonging to the wrong house or club. And as long as you don't mess with the art that they create, they don't have a problem with you one way or another. The house itself isn't overly large, so it's mostly just the main six who live in it, but there are always extra people over, so you sometimes have a hard time finding a place to sit down, never mind a place to sleep for the night.

Kappa Kappa Psi was one of the oldest fraternities on campus next to the Alpha Phi Nu house, and they were greatly respected for the graduates that came from their brotherhood and made their mark on the world. But that was all destroyed about five years ago, when one of their number was caught having an affair with three of his female professors. In addition to the firing of the professors, the boy lost his athletic scholarship and was expelled from the school for his conduct, with his face and name in the paper almost immediately. Try as they might, Kappa Kappa Psi has not yet been able to recover from the scandal, and are now openly mocked by almost every other house on campus, especially by the Alpha Phi Nu who now have the better reputation for athletic graduates and students. The people who end up joining this fraternity either do so because they are incredibly desperate to belong somewhere, or because they have it in their heads that they can do something to restore the house to its former glory. And since they are by far the smallest of the eight houses on campus, there is no worry about there being a lack of room in here. There are rooms to spare when it comes to the living quarters of Kappa Kappa Psi, who are fortunate to survive the year, let alone receive new members.
