Business frat fucked over Freshman pledges and took their money. How do I get revenge?
Long story short, rushed a business frat. I thought most of them were fucking squares (and I was right), but some of the brothers were chill so I figured I'd rush so I could get to know upperclassman and work on my professional development. However, after we paid our pledge induction fees, me and most of the other Freshman pledges got dropped from the frat. Not based on merit or coolness - they literally just dropped all of the Freshman guys and unattractive Freshman girls (not the hot Freshman girls though). They literally straight up scammed the Freshman and milked us for cash. How can I get my money back, and get revenge on these scumbags? I want to get their chapter shut down. I never should've gotten involved in this shit in the first place, fuck business frats.
Chill OP, we can tell you were an ex- WeWork employee, pretty bad name disguise there if you ask me
I'm sure there's some department or school official who oversees/advises the organization. Be an adult and address it.
This is a good lesson for life. As an adult, people try to screw you over. Insurance, other people, whatever. You don't do stuff to get revenge, that's how you both end up in court. Spoiler alert- in court the only people who win are the partners of the law firms.
I mean, you don't fucking break their feet. Not unless it's real serious. But you do retaliate to even a mild slight with the fullest and most excessive force legally possible even if it comes at a personal loss. That's how, over time, you don't get fucked with. And that's how you feel good about yourself. I'd much rather get my ass kicked every once in a while, but fight with maximum effort every single time, than know myself as someone who takes shit.
Strong point tho
Echo what CRE said. How much were the fees?
Take the L, pussy.
Call the cops on them muehahaha
How much are we talking? I'm sure you could hire goldie on a contingency to whoop some preppy frat boys' ass.
True Story. I worked with a guy at a place (vague on purpose) who was a bit older than me, but had the same name. So, naturally, we got nicknames. He was senior, I was junior. It was fun. In any case, I had lent a friend some money to pay his rent after going through a breakup and losing some hours at his blue collar job; it was like $650 or something. He says he'll pay me back next month per his paycheck. Month goes by. Nothing. Month 2 I confront him, next month he says. Month 3, nothing. So I call my boy Senior who was rough around the edges and had done some time for something (vague on purpose). He said for $100, he'll guarantee the money is repaid. I don't ask how and shook his hand. Month 4, Senior hands me $550 and we go out for a bender.
Lessons, Don't lend money to others under the guise you'll be repaid. I don't lend money anymore, period. Choose good friends. Have a guy in your back pocket for such aforementioned services.
While out on the town I told Senior he needs to start a side business called "Senior Services" just for that. He was a good guy overall. There was a young woman who worked at the place we worked. Another coworker made a sick comment about sticking his dong near her thong (much more vulgar). Senior told the guy he'll be swimming with lead boots if he tries anything. I didn't disbelieve him.
I personally lend money because I am that senior guy. Honestly when people are in need I’ve lent at a 10% weekly rate. Most efficient way of having returns using your summer money.
That's pretty funny tbh. Chalk it up to being young & stupid and move on. Not worth your time.
how much did you lose?---critical question
Talk to the University board and get the frat suspended
If they can’t, frame them for something they can get suspended for
I went to a public target university with a ton of business frats. 95% of the members (boys and girls) were terrible and downright mean human beings. I knew a ton of their friends who said they had changed as soon as they went into the business frats. They start acting EXTREMELY arrogant, cliquish and ostracizing. They very often functioned like normal frats in that they had additional resources (previous tests, practice tests, etc.) that they would use to then get much higher grades than everyone else. There were oftentimes cheating scandals in many of my business school classes where it was pretty obvious that only the people in the business frats were doing really well or were cheating to do well on the test.
Many of the TAs and related assistants in many business classes were helping people in their business frats much more than others (and of course, doing much more than that in some cases). It was also pretty shockingly obvious that the majority of the kids in the most competitive/selective clubs at school were from business frats mainly because the exec boards of these clubs who made the decisions regarding new entrants were all from business frats so they would try to get all of their business frat kids in. It was pretty rare for someone in a business frat who wanted to be in a certain club to not get into one.
This cliquishness was evident in recruiting too, where the majority of the best jobs (McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Goldman, Morgan Stanley, Evercore, Moelis, etc.) went to business frat kids. I personally remembering hearing a PCT 1st year analyst from RBC telling some of the juniors and seniors in PCT that he is trying his absolute hardest to beg the recruiting team at RBC to accept every single PCT member who wants to get into RBC for an investment banking analyst job.
There has been so much disgust around business frats that the school even has had meetings every year or so around the validity of these frats and potentially banning them.
The makeup of every pledge class basically involved the hottest girls/very accomplished girls/girls who got in through nepotism/girls who showed they knew how to party or drink well and the frattiest boys/boys who knew how to get the most drunk and "have the most fun".
Of course, you can tell I was never in a business frat; however, the way business frat kids got all the best jobs and best grades created the environment within a target school as if the business frat kids were the real target kids and everyone else was non-target.
Lmao sounds like Berkeley. Common knowledge that the majority of Goldman TMT in SF is made up of Berkeley DSP kids. Some of the slimiest mf's I've ever met.
"You're either a Duper or a Dupee"..
lesson learned - probably money well spent
I pledged (and later was initiated into) a traditional southern fraternity and dealt with things unfathomably worse than this.
