In less than ½ hour after your initial post, zoid tells you you need to get out & have it looked at by an engineer.
1½ weeks later you come back & say, you know what, we’ve now listened to you & gotten the hell out.
By vacating the premesis, you’ve just displaced somewhere between, what, 20-40 students? Maybe more? who now have nowhere to live plus all of the other brothers who (used to) hang out there but you won’t post a single interior picture of your new two-story atrium & you seriously think that every fraternity member (& girlfriend) is going to keep this quiet, including the ones whose parents “won’t” see this when they “don’t” help them move in a the next few days??? :smack: :smack: Let’s also not forget the unaffiliated freshmen who are going to rush in the very near future. :smack:
Then you say we’re not being respectful of you???
Here’s a respectful suggestion: Replacement housing tents in the field used by a male bovine.
You PRAYED? Sure, that should fix everything. And this alum who’s an engineer, is he a frat brother? And is he going to be able to provide a document of structural integrity, or are you going to settle for a dove carrying an olive branch?
While calling someone else a liar may be only clearly against the rules in Great Debates, it’s still something that can be seen as an insulting call out.
I suggest you use the Pit if you want to express this level of outrage more.
What kind of engineer? A licensed PE structural engineer I hope?
There are lots of different kinds of engineers and only a small subset is qualified for this.
If I believed this tale was true, I’d be rooting for the guy to be an electronic engineer.
And I’m with kambukta: much as I think this story is bullshit, I would be in hog heaven if I found out it was true.
I mean, just for starters, the first thing the ‘responsible adult’ associated with this frat does, rather than calling the frat’s national office (which is what they tell you to do FIRST THING after any bad shit goes down in the frat house, for damage control reasons if nothing else), he picks a random Internet message board, and asks a bunch of total strangers for advice.
It’s not even a particularly good story. Why would anyone join a message board to post something so, well not exactly mundane, but bizarre. I vote for true, because otherwise what’s the point?
