I went to a Spokane Falls Committee College for two years played football parties like a rockstar 87 & 88 then received scholarship to play football to the University of Idaho. I never joined a fraternity but went to way to many fraternity parties to count.

I had a great time other than all the knee surgeries and a few shoulder surgeries. I don’t regret any of it

Mid ‘80s I was in a frat at Adams College. Lambda Lambda Lambda. They called us the tri-lambs. We mostly got our asses kicked by the jocks, they were the in the Alpha Beta frat, but we always got the girl and had the last laugh. One of our brothers eventually became dean of students. I remember one time we were throwing a dud of a party until one of the brothers, we called him Booger, brought some of the green stuff and the party went off! Wouldn’t trade those days for nuffin.

Had two different bosses that graduated from there around that time.

SIUC 92-95, 98-00 Mining Engineering. SIU made Playboy's top 20 party schools in 92. Jenny McCarthy was a student while I was there.

I enjoyed myself, but college and I didn't exactly get along, so a summer internship turned into three years of practical experience. I believe that helped me in the long run.

Was 25 when I landed in Gainesville, FL to go to engineering school, 2006-2009. Studying EE wasn’t easy for me and I had many Friday nights watching people party at midtown out the Library window.

Did 12 years of school for free, no way I was paying for school. Went in the army met life head on . Raised to respect others, trained to be a leader and stand your ground. Partied enough in HS knew I wanted better.

Washington State University 01-05. Time of my life. I fished, hunted, taught a predominantly female volleyball class, drank a lot of Busch Light and Idaho Gold whiskey, struck out on lots of chicks, scored every now and then, and met some lifelong friends. Managed to get a degree too!

No frat for me, but I joined the rugby club the day I enrolled at the University of Idaho, so nearly the same thing. :D Somehow I graduated, eventually...

I mostly went home on weekends to work and see a girlfriend. My grades were thankful and my liver even more so. A few times I would venture out to Penn State main where I had a few friends and we would get into trouble every time.

We had a pretty good run of getting kicked out of frats for making fun of them. Frat guys don't take kindly to being to look like fools in front of the girls they were after.

From what I have seen of most frat guys, they don't need any help looking like fools. JMHO

Fraternity at about half but only partied the first year.

Alternated between hunting, working and school. Finished my masters while working full time.

Given the choice of hunting and partying - chose hunting.

I went to Tech school. My parties consisted of working 40 plus hrs a week and going to school five days a week 8 hrs a day. I have nothing but contempt for college. The whole thing is a scam. There's no reason for it to cost so much and take so long.

late 90's early 2000 .2 years at SoDak state for wild life biology decided i didnt want to be a game warden then 2 years of tech school. That time of my life i needed little sleep and didnt miss out on a party or getting up to hunt the next morning or work. It was a blast. Also in the National Guard so that was always a full weekend of drinking and hitting what ever wedding dance was going on in what ever little town we were drilling in Ne sodak.

University of Oregon, ‘82-‘86. Phi Gamma Delta (Fiji).

I‘m sure schooling was involved somehow, because I graduated, but frat life is what I remember.

It was a good day when I realized the girls wanted to f@#k as much as I did.

University of Idaho in the late 80's. Lived through the drinking age changing from 19-21 in 87'. Started bartending at 19 to eat and fought fire in the summer to pay for school. Most of my partying was at the bars because I drank for free and worked every weekend. Hunted with buddies every chance we got. Ran bear baits all spring and killed quite a few bears. I got to good at the drinking and grades suffered. Girlfriend got pregnant and having a young family cleaned my up. Pretty much 4.0 from then on. Wouldn't trade it for anything.

I started in 83, I think? I got a BS in Geology, BS in Civil Engineering and finally an MS in Civil Engineering. I never joined a Fraternity, because my classes were real tough and I worked to support myself. I didn't have the time. I sure remember RUSH week and the open parties that recommended a $2 donation and had a great time at the beginning of each semester. SDSU or SUDS as some us called it was and still is a party school. It was a blessing and a course for me. Things got way out of hand for the fraternities in the 80s and the open parties become part of my memory.
How about you all?
this ls cool to see, i graduated from San Diego State in 09. parents cut me off and had to work full time to put myself through school after my sophomore year but still had a lot of good times. Cities normally suck but san diego isn't that bad.
