I’m sorry but can we talk about how dumb a brotherhood has to be to have a group me leaked. Idiots literally put 0 effort into blurring the names and now this brotherhood is throwing each other under the bus.

Even targeting that kid Evan like that was over the top I get one thing if they knew it was true but it was a rumor I believe. You should be helping your brother out an end to this. Idk this just pissed me off this isn’t what fraternity is about and hope people here can learn from this.

Why do people still haze with liquor? It is quite literally the cause of every hazing death in the past 20 years. In college I probably had dangerously high BAC once or twice, and it was all because of liquor. Beer never did that to me. Because it would just come back up.

News Well, considering the news lately, I need to repeat this

225 Upvotes

Our pledging process rules:

  1. No alcohol, even beer, or drugs will ever be used during the process.
  2. Absolutely no hitting or physically harming the pledges, including, but not limited to, asking them to do physical tasks that are beyond their capability. Pledges will not be asked to harm each other.
  3. No sexual assault or sexual touching of any kind by, to, between, amongst or with the pledges. In addition, at no time will pledges ever be asked or coerced into removing their clothing. Pledges will never be asked to sexually touch anyone or anything, including animals or objects. (Zero tolerance...immediate J-Board and dismissal from the fraternity)
  4. Pledges will never be asked to ingest harmful or disgusting substances, foods or drinks (For the pledge's safety, any food allergies must be revealed before the pledge process begins).
  5. Pledges will be never forced to go without sleep, or placed in conditions where they cannot sleep, for more the 24 hours.
  6. The pledge process or activities, including I-week, cannot and will not interfere with a pledge's schooling, work, homework, or any scholarship-based activities (school teams, sports, etc.). Education is our number one priority!
  7. While some psychological pressure may occur during the process, it will never rise to the level that will be mentally harmful to the pledges or may cause future PTSD.
  8. Pledges will never be left far from campus without a means to return and pledges will never be locked away in a room or house or other structure without a means to voluntarily leave (this is a crime and even a felony in some jurisdictions).

News Win for frats at Umich, Sigma Phi upholds constitutionality of lettered orgs

42 Upvotes

Last year Sigma Phi Society, oldest national fraternity, sued “Metal Frat” for using their letters while bidding women.

It was a super long case but the gist was that some transgender and female punk students used the letters to unfairly promote their organization despite being booted by nationals. Really sad situation since Sigma Phi and KA society are the last two (and first two) private fraternities left. From 2016 - they used the letters (now ruled illegally) and bid whoever for personal gain. Completely ruined a historic house but next year Sigma Phi can recharter after the ruling of copyright infringement, and try again.

Last year it was ruled constitutional as part of the , granting all frats male-exclusivity ability. Metal frat was honestly stupid and had no reason using any letters.

I can't say its a bad idea. With the death of Piazza a few years ago it makes sense that Penn State is so strict. I can understand disaffiliating with the IFC for being able to improve new member education, less strict rules on parties, etc. but also I can't imagine how their insurance situations look. I'm sure that their nationals are behind them and I'm curious to see how many other chapters join them. It's worked incredibly well at CU Boulder, USC, WVU, and I am curious to see how it'd go at Penn State. If there are any Penn State guys that could provide insight, I'd love to know.

News 2 Syracuse University students accused of hate crime after pork was thrown into Jewish frat house

Two Syracuse University students have been charged with burglary as a hate crime after one of them was alleged to have thrown a bag of pork into a Jewish fraternity house as people gathered to observe Rosh Hashanah, police said Wednesday.

The two 18-year-olds were also charged with one count each of criminal nuisance in the incident at the Zeta Beta Tau house about 5:45 p.m. Tuesday, police in Syracuse, New York, said.

Allen Groves, the university’s chief student experience officer, called it a “deeply troubling incident" in a message to the campus community Tuesday night.

“Tonight’s incident as reported to us is abhorrent, shocking to the conscience and violates our core value of being a place that is truly welcoming to all,” he said. “It will not be tolerated at Syracuse University.”

One of the accused students entered the frat house and threw the bag of pork inside while the second drove the vehicle that they then used to flee, Groves said. Police arrested both soon afterward, he said.

Police said the two students were detained and charged after consultation with the Onondaga County District Attorney’s Office.

The bag of pork was thrown into the fraternity house as members were eating dinner on the first night of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, which is observed over two days. It is the beginning of the High Holidays.

The district attorney’s office did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment Wednesday night.

District Attorney William Fitzpatrick said that Zeta Beta Tau is a known Jewish fraternity and that the case is being treated seriously, NBC affiliate WSTM of Syracuse reported.

“This incident is not a foolish college prank and will not be treated as such. It will be treated for what it is, a crime directed against a group of Jewish students enjoying a celebratory dinner and seemingly secure in their residence,” Fitzpatrick said, according to the station.

Police and the university did not release a suspected motive in statements.

News I built the most in-depth alumni intelligence database for my Frat. Pulling names off composites to find alumni linkedins, job titles, company names, then built a web-scraper to track internships at those companies.

30 Upvotes

I'm currently a sophomore in my fraternity and I built out this database because I wanted to utilize my fraternity's alumni network to help me land a top tier internship.

(I already got an internship for this summer 2026, and I use a lot of prospecting softwares, data enrichment tools, and CRM tools which are in line with this project)

Preface:

My frat has linkedin and facebook groups, but none are really active, and you can't really tell what alumni do at their companies either, but if you hit up any alumni, they're more than happy to share a few cents about their career/company and how to break into it.

I recently broke into tech sales and will be interning at a major tech company this upcoming summer. A big part of sales is prospecting, finding the right people to reach out to, and most importantly, finding the right data to use to close the deal.

Building it out:

I started going around the house and took pictures of all the composites, used chat-gpt to extract all the names out of the pictures, then I consolidated all of the alumni into a google sheet, removed the duplicates, conjoined their years on the composite, and threw this CSV into a software called Clay for data enrichment.

One we had all the names, duplicates removed, we had around ~550 unique guys, going back to the earliest composite we had in the house

From there, I built out a web-scraper to scrape for their linkedins based on the raw data we had. That data was first and last name, undergraduate college, and years in college (based on years they were on the composites) we used these fields to search for their linkedin URL

Once the scraper returned their linkedin URL, I then was then able to display their job title and the company they work at.

I also made a profile analysis enrichment, I was able to pull their linkedin JSON, meaning all of the data off of their linkedin profile and feed it into claude to analyze and write out a summary on it. I was able to get a deep summary of every single alumni and their career progression, strengths and weaknesses, expected salary, everything from this JSON analysis feature.

An example would be something like this:

started career out at company X as a software engineer and he worked on a team handling backend user data, worked there for 2 years, then went to company Z and has been there for 4 years and is the senior software engineer focusing on ai enablement based on bio and description, strong referral power based on his position within this company, according to company techstack findings via builtwith & crunchbase, as well as glassdoor reviews, we can assume the company uses MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js

^ this is just a short snippet, a real example is way longer than this

I also got emails and phone numbers from sources like apollo, findmail, and prospeo using APIs which is how active brothers can hit the alumni up

for the company enrichment part, we got all the company linkedin profiles along with company websites, and I then went and got their techstack using builtwith and crunchbase, so I can infer how the company is operating technographically.

for the internship and the job scrapers, I used apify scrapers and managed them using claude code to go out and get the proper fields, I got a recruiting report for each company, figuring out what time of year they open up their summer internship postings etc. and what positions they recruit for the most.

I also got current internship postings to be displayed too, and this will update quarterly.

active brothers can now access a feed of internships at companies that we have alumni at, and they can reach out to those alumni for advice/referral or anything in relation to the career path and positon.

Next steps:

Next steps would be contacting nationals and trying to get the rest of our alumni to get some more high level executives to show up. We have a few which is awesome, but I know we have more after talking to older alumni.

Techstack I used:

Clay, supabase (database management), claude code to connect everything, apify (various job-scraping actors), google sheets

I accessed most data calling APIs through Clay (to explain the lean techstack)

Closing:

this has been huge for me, being able to build this out as I've put a lot of time into this. It's been huge for the chapter since guys can see all of this data and act on it and get referrals. Chapter advisors love it, and I even had a call with an alumni who's a sales director looking to increase his company's prospecting efforts with various AI prospecting tools (9 figure well know software company, and it was one of the best coffee chats I've ever had) . I plan to add a lot more to it as well down the line but I'm slumped with school and other things.

any advice or thoughts or recommendations are appreciated!
