Nice! Our house is kinda shitty right now

Edit: Well it's not THAT bad... better than the Sigma Nu house (even though they were forced to move our for now).

How many houses are in your campus? We have 27 fraternities and 13 sororities but a lot of the smaller houses will likely get phased out due to the strict housing codes coming out. I'm going to pull a totalfratmove joke and say our house is about to be a "Frat Castle"

Not nearly that many... we have Phi Kappa Sigma, Delta Sigma Phi, Sigma Nu, Kappa Sigma, Sig Ep, Sigma Chi, Kappa Alpha Order, Theta Chi, Lambda Chi, PIKE, Alpha Tau Omega, AE Pi, Pi Kappa Phi, Lambda Theta Phi, and FIJI as our IFC chapters. But only 8 houses. I almost went to Iowa State, btw. But Aimes was just too cold for me

Yeah... Tell me about it.. Lol having lived in Iowa my whole life, I know how it is. That being said, didn't really feel like paying my dad the difference between in-state tuition and out of state tuition elsewhere. I had an opportunity to go to TCU or Florida but I decided against it

TCU is berry berry expensive. We have a chapter there as well. But we're much closer with the Oklahoma chapter.

I always liked having a stock DD that was a good reliable car and then my beast at home when the **** talking started to fly. I do know freinds that have modded DD's along with thier fast car......just not my cup of tea I guess.
unless its warrantied with the mod

Met a kid once with a muffler on his carbon fiber intake for his S2000. My friends & I had no idea what purpose it served or what it even really was, so we just called it a muffler.

HAHAHA! She will be boosted in spring, so I guess it'll sound like a hamster on crack with a defib unit?

Those things are supposed to have nasty bottom ends for boost. What are you expecting to make for power once it's all said and done?

And def get some sweet wheels. The factory ones just aren't doing it for me lol.
