So the pledge-leader will boycott if they can't self-aggrandize?!? It isn't a seismic change, here is what SAEs can wear to games:

btw, while we are telling the people WHO ACTUALLY SHOW UP TO GAMES what to do, why don't we just order them to attend FB games as well.

They were all pledges. They were forced to show up. They were great though, I hope they bring that intensity every game. Did you see any of their actives there? No.

Exactly. Not much point in forcing pledges to attend if there's no self-aggrandizing reason (to publish the letters).

Don't get me wrong I appreciate the enthusiasm and attendance. But it is so self-serving and stupid to be wearing those jerseys. Once upon a time I was a pledge and probably did the same thing. But looking back, I must have looked as douche-tastic as those kids looked last night.

Wear your school colors. Period. Make jerseys for the game in red or blue. Everybody wins.



We aren't duke, unc, or ku. we aren't stanford, or vandy, or even UNM

We are Marshall. I mean, SMU.


YOU MAKE THE CALL!

a) Fraternity's show up and cheer in their colors
b) they don't show up and we have empty seats


Please explain how showing up and wearing SMU colors are mutually exclusive.

You're high off your [deleted] if you think there was 6,000 people there yesterday.

Agree RGV. It was looking a little iffy at the start, but ended pretty solid.

It is fortunate that none of those terrible frat-tastic dudes will ever see the comments from the numerous walking corpses and/or self righteous clowns who troll this board.

But please continue...trash students who show up to games. Because SMU has those in oodles....

And thankfully they probably don't care about anonymous comments from internet tough guys.

While 6,013 was stated attendance, I do agree that was high. However, there were people sitting in the nosebleeds which never happened last year. I think it was in the mid-to high 5,000's.

They are not.

However, if not wearing SAE letters means the SAE's won't be showing up, that would mean:
a) SAEs won't be wearing SAE letters so you don't have to [deleted] about it, and
b) there will be empty seats in the place where there were formerly 30+ SAE's cheering loudly for our team.

Which do you prefer?

so is fraternity talk off-limits on this board - or only if it is negative towards SigEp?

11 great SMU traditions to inspire you.

After fast forwarding through this, if I were an incoming student, I would be so inspired to attend SMU Basketball game sans any fraternity or sorority letters so much so that I would de-pledge if ordered to attend.

If your guys showed up voluntarily instead of as a one-time deal...you might have a point.
