DUDE! I joined for the exact same reason and although it took me a lil while to warm up to all the guys and feel more comfortable around them it definately made me more confident.
PS- I just thought of a cocky/funny routine to do in the first week or 2 of classes. You walk into the lecture hall, spot your set, go up to them, lift up your hand offering a HIGH FIVE, even say it "come on, high five". If they ask what for, you can tell them "cause you're in the same class as me" with a cheeky smile. If they dont ask, you just say "thats for being in the same class as me!". Then just sit next to them and tell them a DHV story or run some routine. If they act lame, TELL THEM! "you guys are no fun, come on you're in college/university!"
Its really simple. What do you guys think?

Well, that means if you're not a frat guy it's a bit HARDER. Many of the hot girls on my campus are sorority girls, I'm not in a frat and it's too late to join one (nor do I have the time for pledging...) And they seem to have this arrogance about them except when they meet frat guys that BOUGHT their social proof with fees and dues.
Now I know that sounds harsh, but the reality is harsh for lots of guys that are new to the PUA community and are NOT into the whole frat scene. Many of us have also had to develop our own material, which I can do within a few hours, but my point here is that we need an exchange of ideas and FEEDBACK when it comes to our college game so we can improve it, since there are very few posts on it. It would be great if someone would post routines for getting sorority girls with a COLD APPROACH (among the other scenarios that I listed).
Cuz that's what being a
real PUA is about
Ouch. I'm hurt... Ok, I'm lying... If that's how you feel, that's perfectly fine... I'm gonna go off on a tangent here, but to everyone, what I'm about to say is worth considering and relevant to what we're talking about here...
What fascinates me about non-Greeks is that they never really look beyond like Animal House or whatever. Sure, being in a fraternity is for social purposes, but there are other purposes that extend beyond partying, meeting girls, getting hammered, etc.
Fraternities and sororities are still about brotherhood and sisterhood, respectively. They're (supposed to be) about people coming together who share common values, morals and ideas; people who share a common vision if you will. That probably sounds really sappy, and I know first hand that you can't always find that, but I'm fortunate because that's what my fraternity is about. Like I can honestly see myself still doing crazy sh*t with my brothers when I'm an old fart lol
They're also highly organized and operate like businesses. Yeah, you gotta pay dues and what not, but we always do fun stuff and by combining our resources ($$$), we can make it easier to do fun stuff. And I'll tell ya this much, what you put into it is what you're going to get out of it. If you pay and don't go to socials, philanthropies, Rush, whatever, you're not gonna get anything out of it. You just wasted your $$$.
Also, there are officer positions (I'm the treasurer in my chapter), which, while you can take with you later on in life, are assets to you right now because you can add what you do to your resume because employers, they love that kind of stuff. I mean, if you do it your entire time in college, it shows you can stick with something (tho I suspect that your BA or BS would indicate that as well lol). Like doing what I do, it shows I have HR management skills, financial and accounting management skills, time management skills... i could go on, but you get the idea.
Let's not forget about networking... it ain't what you know, it's who you know. Last month, I went to Virginia for conference for my fraternity (I didn't even have to pay to go!) and I met a hell of a lot of awesome bros from around the country and got to meet a lot of older alumni who are active in working for the Order and who I know will be an asset later on in my life.
Basically, what I'm getting at is that you will develop your PEOPLE SKILLS! Something that is obviously important in life and in becoming a successful PUA. I joined my fraternity way before I even found out about PUA and prior to even joining my fraternity, I was the nerdy, quiet guy, but my fraternity transformed me into a stronger, more open, social kind of guy. I went from being a blob of cookie dough into, well not a blob of cookie dough lol I'm active, talkative and much happier than I've ever been
Being in a fraternity was something that I needed because it forced me to socialize, it forced me to actually try, it gave me a purpose and it helps to make college much more... interesting
So for some people (emphasis on some because I know it's not for the other some people), even when you think that you don't need it or that it's not for you, it's more than likely what you actually need.
Getting back on topic, when sorority girls are not as arrogant, it's just because you share something in common with them; you're Greek, they're Greek... At least, that's what I've found. Sometimes they just don't respect those who aren't Greek, but you shouldn't let that stop you from gaming them.
And I won't lie, being in a fraternity can make you an arrogant bastard (that's probably a supremely bad word here, but whatever), but I ask you, is there anything totally wrong with that to begin with? I mean, perhaps, in some ways yes, no one likes d-bags and you shouldn't really act like one, but on the whole, I view it as an okay-to-good kind of thing.

Other than that, keep up the good work! Keep posting your college routines so we can all test them out. The majors routine is pure GENIUS! I mean, until now I just saw majors as a rather clumsy way to begin rapport, it always seemed forced to me because the question of majors usually comes up too early for rapport - so it just became another stale topic. But using it as a neg routine is something I had never thought of... Damn, it just proves that big ideas sometimes DO hide in plain sight!
Indeed, I really like the content of this thread. The major routine sounds great! I'm gonna try that out later today and tomorrow and I'll try to remember to report back on that. I was gonna say that it might work best when you're a freshman or sophomore, but i think it can actually transcend into your junior year... not so much senior year when you take like Finance 421 tho
Again, great thread! Keep 'em coming! (And I'll articulate some of what I do a bit later; gotta get back to work
)
