Being a member of Greek life at Quinnipiac University is no easy task. In order to remain a member in fraternities and sororities, students must be in good academic standing with the university, attend all chapter meetings, and of course... pay money to be included in a large alcoholic friend group.
Here at The Quinnipiac Barnacle, we were interested in what members of Greek life do in their free time.
After spending a long and tumultuous 13 minutes outside the School of Business, we found someone interested in participating in our deep and personal interview; Brock Broski of Ligma Sigma Delta is a junior business major and political science minor. At the time of this interview, it was 23 degrees outside and snowing. For context, Broski was wearing nothing but pink 5” inseam shorts and a Ligma Sigma Delta hoodie from May weekend 2021.
“I love my Ligma bros,” says Broski. “We do a lot of fun stuff after classes. My buddy Kyle and I go to the library on Tuesdays for book club. This week we’re reading ‘To Kill A Mockingbird.’”
“There’s a lot of misconceptions about me and my brothers on this campus. Most of the time we’re just trying to do well in school and serve our community.” Ligma Sigma Delta often goes to the Hamden DayCare and volunteers to spend time with some of the children. “We just want to help these kids out. There’s also so many single moms, I scored one of their snaps last week.” (At the end of this statement, Broski fist bumped our team of interviewers).
Broski put us in contact with the president of his fraternity, Phil Mahooters.
“It’s important for us to show up. All of the other presidents of Ligma Sigma Delta before me wanted us to be different,” says Mahooters, seconds after shotgunning a Natural Light at 2:11pm on a Wednesday.
Mahooters encourages all of his Ligma brothers to do good deeds around campus like buying underclassmen alcohol and assisting freshman with schoolwork in the learning commons. “We need to give back to the Quinnipiac community. I’m booked every night this week helping four different babes- students with their homework.”
On their weekends, the Ligma brothers typically start with a “beer-olympics” on “Thirsty Thursdays,” blackout at Toad’s Place on Fridays, and go to their sister sorority (Oozma Kappa) on Saturdays. They end their weekend by attending church every Sunday morning, followed by a long day of studying and doing their laundry.
At the end of our interviews, Broski thanked us for our time, and Mahooters dapped us up. Both of the brothers needed to get home to finish knitting quilts for the homeless shelter before this week’s beer-olympics.
