Who here is/was in a fraternity or sorority in college?
How was the experience, or how has it been?
Have there been any trance frat parties (or is it "frat trance parties"? :p ) If not, is trance ever played at any frat parties?
I rushed a few places, but wasn't cool enough to get into any (omg, what a dork I was back then... I now must try hard to suppress bad memories :p). I think I'm glad I didn't, but I'm sure it's different for everyone. |

im not in one, but friends of mine are in fraternities and sororities all over the place at different colleges.
My friend is in a fraternity at George Mason Uni and they had a "CLUB THEME" night and i brought my decks up and spun solid trance for a good hour or so..then, just to keep people happy, they played a mix CD full of hip-hop, rap..
then i went on again for another dose of TRance..it was pretty sweet, everyone seemed to enjoy it...despite the drunk girls that would come up and ask if i could play some RAP next. I said yeah sure its coming on next. Fifteen minutes later theyd come back and say "i thought you were going to play some rap!"
i said "this songs not over yet!" heh heh, they cant tell beatmatching! :p
but yeah, long story short is , they said that that was one of the best turnouts for a party and it was one of the best parties theyve ever had. |

I pledged Fiji a few years back. I ended up dropping out of it towards then end, well technically I skipped initiation on purpose because I didn't want to be apart of that crap. Some of them are cool, but I hate how the have that "if you're not in a frat, you have nothing to do with us" BS. They would bitch at me when I had a gig and would miss the events. So I chose to rather not pay to have friends and continue on happy with what I was doing. |

suprisingly enough I was in a sorority at UCF for the first two years then dropped due to the annoyance it became plus my interests/social life =CLUBBING totally interfered. Im in FL but its pretty much the same anywhere, NO you will not have "trance frat parties" lol its pretty ghey if you ask me, but w/e you can malke your own decision! Its rare to find true clubbers who live for this , much less in a frat , just my .02
love,rach |

i was a tri delta (yeah i know... delta delta delta, can i help ya help ya help ya?) and absolutely loved it my first two years, but being on the other side of rush killed things for me. i still had lots of fun at the socials and other things, but it became a real hassle.
as far as frat parties, some would play sandstorm during parties, but that's about it. whenever my friends and i said we were going clubbing in dc people always asked if we listened to darude. |

my .02
i went to UF (university of florida) which has a serious greek following,.. i pledged ATO for a single day and quit b/c of the BS i could forsee them making us do, also b/c i didnt want it to take away from my time with the gf,... and it was ever so true that for the frat parties if you weren't a part then you were totally viewed as an outkast and weren't allowed in any parties,.... any female could go to a frat party but guys,..umm nope...
jane- i heard tri delta (come fly these friendly thighs. :)) |

Did the whole frat thing, graduating in May so not really involved with it anymore. PLedged Sammy at UDel my fresh yr, pledging sucked ass, but I guess it was worth it, cuz I had pledges cleanin my place for the next 3 years.
But music wise, one of my bros hooked me up with a gig I still have today at a bar on campus, where I spin mostly hip hop(I hate that fact), BUT ALWAYS slip in a little new trance...last week I played tracks like "ROCK YOUR BODY ROCK" and "TRAFFIC" and the crowd always seems to enjoy it. I have gotten alot of my close bros into trance too(finally they understand that they are WHITE!) and brought 2 of them to see PVD at glow last fall. But if I could go back now, I wouldnt have pledged, its a waste of needed money in college. |
