Reply to comment by [deleted] in Cornell suspends fraternity parties and social events after allegations of sexual assault and drug-laced drinks | CNN by beeps-n-boops

My friend was in a fraternity that was known for having "nerdier" people. I mean they had party's but I don't think they were about the worst things you hear about Greek life. Like I know when they pledged they didn't have to chug a keg, do really crazy shit. He said it was more real bonding and team building stuff. So, yeah, there's some.

Now, for your pledge you need to finish this algoriths within the next 24 hours and deploy it to production. Afterwards we will have a code review!

I was in a Jewish fraternity at Cornell about 15 years ago...

Our claim to fame was that we had the best combined GPA of any fraternity on campus for 4 semesters straight until my dumb ass helped end the streak. We had parties but nothing outrageous - my own frat even "wrote me up" for smoking weed at a party because they were so strict.

We were never forced to consumer alcohol against our will but one night they went to a convenience store and bought one of every food item that cost $3 or less and we as a group had to consume it all. And that is how I invented cheese-pickle-mayo sandwiches wrapped in seaweed sushi paper.

And then your parents said, "This is why you never became a doctor. Oy Vey!

Never wanted to be a doctor! But I'm a lawyer now so they're satisfied.

Lol. I'm applying to PA school in January. I did want to be a doctor, went back, got a biology degree. Then a bunch of family issues happened. Had to put that on hold. I'm too old to do medical school, don't want all that debt. I'll essentially be a doctor-light as a PA and be done in 2 years, and maybe 1 year sub specialty. 🙏

I had a few friends go through PA school and I know it can be tougher than med school since it's so much more condensed. Good luck!

Yeah, it's a bit concerning, but just gotta pass. I think I can do it. I love science, medicine. And it always kinda came easy to me. Don't get me wrong, I studied, worked hard. I got this! 🙂
