Sophomore business student Jeff Halton, a pledging member of UNT Christian fraternity Beta Upsilon Chi, says the organization isn’t exactly what he expected when he joined.
“Honestly, BYX is less of a fraternity and more of an extended bible study,” he said. “We don’t have our own house, so most of the guys live together in small groups. We get together for devotional a couple of times a week, go to church together, do some volunteer work here and there and throw the most tragically sober parties you could possibly imagine.”
“It’s basically like, a church camp, except at college,” Halton added.
Halton said he was enticed to join the religious fraternity after noticing that “they used Greek letters like all the other fraternities” and appeared to host Rush Week events and other parties.
“It’s just kind of disappointing,” he said. “I mean, I consider myself a Christian, and I’m not really that wild, but I thought we might throw at least a couple of keggers every semester.”
Instead, Halton says, the group plays root beer pong at all its parties and ends the night with a devotional.
“We can’t even slow dance with our dates at formals — do you understand how lame it is to side hug someone when you’re 19 years old? I’m not asking for bacchanalia here, I just want to grab someone’s ass.”
The sophomore says he’s keeping his options open, but isn’t ready to give up on the fraternity just yet.
“I mean, a lot of these dudes have rich parents, so I’m sure the networking aspect of the organization is still there,” Halton said. “If I’m lucky, one of my brothers’ dads can get me a job after college, working at a company that’s probably just as Christian as this fraternity. Jesus, that’s a depressing thought.”
Halton then went back to his bedroom to furtively pleasure himself, despite making a pact with his brothers earlier that week to abstain from masturbation.
