Is it possible to join a frat and live in a frat house as a law student? Forum

In addition to seeming like a creep just trying to plow undergrads, your law school classmates will probably think you're a huge loser.

How's it hanging these days Spanish Man?

Also frats wouldn't let non undergrads join

There may be rare exceptions of new shitty frats who are desparate for anyone to join or co-ed frats maybe, but the vast majority of typical social frats would not recruit a grad student. Even sophomore undergrads have a hard time joining most frats.

DC is hot as shit and the metro sucks, but otherwise fine. How's that Miami hustling going?

Frankly, this is probably the absolute worst thing you could do. Law school isn't the time to rush, get potentially hazed, and hit on coeds at mixers.

law school is easy

I have never heard of a fraternity chapter taking any grad/professional student, it's an activity usually reserved for undergraduates. However, I did have buddies in houses whose alumni advisory board would hire a law student to live in the house and essentially babysit the brothers to make sure nothing went wrong. My friends said that this guy usually just kept to himself most of the time and never bothered them.

Has anyone done this? I'll be attending Berkeley next year as a transfer and I haven't nailed down my housing situation yet. Joining a frat appeals to me because it's something I've never experienced. What are your thoughts?

Worst. Idea. Ever.


The semester I pledged during UG, my GPA dropped over an entire point. It was a ton of fun (when I was 19), but also a huge time suck. It was hard enough to get time in to study for easy classes (psychology, bowling, etc.) let alone the ones that actually mattered.

"priorities"

Never heard of joining a new frat as a pledge in law school. However, it is pretty standard for frats to have grad students who were members in undergrad live in the house for free as the "responsible adult" (not sure actual name for this position). I know a couple dudes who did this through law school and are at great firms now.

edit: Scooped. Guys I know partied with the undergrads pretty regularly though.

The heat is brutal down here too and it's going man. Just making plea deals, researching case law, the usual bs that comes with being an almost-prosecutor. I had a health issue so i have been out of the office for a bit but i will be back next week. Are u interning at a biglaw firm this summer?

This. Also even if they you'd be the oldest pledge by at least 4 years, and probably older than the vast majority of the brothers. Just my $0.02 though

Yup. Never grad students, the older dudes were always veterans who were just getting to undergrad.

Joining a frat as a law student isn't only weird, it's pathetic.
