I have a cassette tape with the song "Louie, Louie" recorded endlessly on it.
I have an endless keg of beer.
I have John Belushi's body.
I have too much time on my hands.

I have... ASPERGER FRAT!

Welcome to Alpha Sigma fraternity or as we like to call it "AS House". I am your rush chairman, Majestic Coolbeans and as such it is my responsibility to approve or disapprove of all the new pledges.

Now I know what you're thinking. What can AS House offer me that other frats like Delta Delta Scum and Alpha Rich Boy don't provide? Well the answer is quite simple and I won't insult your intelligence by stating it here.

AS House was founded by Professor and professional streaker Stormin' Jay Norman. For over the last 20 or so minutes, we've had an excellent reputation in the general NT community and have several brilliant academic leaders.

I promise you mayhem!
I promise you Louie Louie ad nauseum!
I promise you good times!

Pledges please post your details below.

Oh and we have an air hockey table. Pretty damn cool if you ask me.

Endless keg of beer and an airhockey table. Interesting to say so the least :P *Is hopeless at air hockey* I always manage to shoot it in the goal I'm defending for some reason 8O

I hope this is going to be a co-ed house: fraternity + sorority. Otherwise, I feel terribly left out... :(

PS- Everybody gets separate rooms. No room mates.

I second what Sophist said. :D

I like air hockey... not that I'm much good at it, though, but I have a habit of switching hands in the middle of a round, just to confuse the heck out of people. ;)

I actually am in a co-ed fraternity at my university. It's really good, and has really helped me with a lot of my social awkwardness. I think that four things about this fraternity made it really helpful:

1) There is absolutely no hazing, forced consumption of alcohol, or anything like that which most people negatively stereotype fraternities with. There are very strict rules about that and they are followed (following rules...good for AS traits eh?)
2) The fraternity is mostly filled with genuinely good people, and
3) The fraternity essentially is a <B>structured social life</b>, and it's said that people with AS-like traits learn and do their best in highly structured environments.
4) The fraternity is co-ed, so you really do get a balanced perspective of society and it really helps understanding more people.

It's actually made me think seriously about what a spectrum frat could be like...I hypothetically thought it could be called "Alpha Sigma Delta" (ASD)...close to Alpha Sigma. But, I began to realize, that a lot of the things that really made things great in my fraternity was the fact that it was mostly NT but welcoming. That said, it would be cool if ASD social groups on campuses could be formed, and linked together in the structure of a national fraternity, complete with frat letters, national conventions and programs.

This is supposed to be random fun maybe I'm thinking too much into this, but I've actually thought of this subject at length over the past few months, and see this is my chance to share :D .

I prefer characteristics as opposed to disorder, so I vote for ASC.

I think it's a great idea. How do we do it?

Of course, we'd have to grandfather in old geezers like me who aren't in school anymore. And don't tempt me to go back, I'd probably get too comfortable and do a doonesbury....

And what Greek letters would we use for that, I wonder? Does anyone know the Greek letter for "C"... or should we have to use "K" or some other letter?

definitely K. then we would be ASK - Alpha Sigma Kappa
The closest to "C" is chi.

doesn't chi look like an X though? (I'm trying to remember here...hmmm) In any case as long as we're under Double-Secret-Probation, I'm cool with it!

Hey, since we're the first, why not start our own tradition: break away from using greek letters and use some from other languages too. Like Ancient Chinese, or Egyptian hieroglyphics. Summerian symbols. Etc.

We will provide you with air hockey lessons and a personal tutor.

Men, Women, Cats, Dogs, Bikers, Aliens and everyone else is welcomed. AS'ers come from all walks of life. You must pass the initiation of course, but none shalt be denied. And whatever happens behind closed doors is up to you.

Yes to all that. People can do whatever they want to. It's like anarchy and order combined.

Yes you may pledge. Five gold stars for you for keeness and knowing how to make a toga.

Yes we will do that FREE OF CHARGE!

Quote:

We're ALWAYS under Triple-Super-Secret-Probation!

In regards to the greek/phoenician/egyptian/chinese letters, I suggest we put it to the vote. Simply state your preference and we'll let the pledges decide.

My vote is for: Alpha Sigma

As the options come in I will update them to a poll so you can have your say.

Also we need a Frat Song, one that we can all cheer to. Now, whilst Louie Louie will be our unofficial anthem and played endlessly, we need something for the high-brow upper class types as well.

I pledge alleigence to the FRAT!

You mentioned because you have vision. This frat needs to have a goal. We know world domination is a hobby of mine, but it needs something greater than that.
