Text Chapter 475: Membership Test
Because once you're a member of a fraternity, you have to look after each other. According to records, the first fraternity in North America, the Flathat Club (F.H.C.Society), was established in 1750 at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia.
After more than 200 years of development, this system now has more than 7,000 chapters (branches) in more than 900 universities in the United States and Canada. Many presidents in American history were once members of fraternities, and many CEOs of large companies also All are part of it.
From this point of view, the fraternity is indeed a culture of American college students. Of course, when young people get together, some accidents, absurdities, and even violations of law and discipline may happen. At that time, the laws of the United States will play mercilessly.
Zhou Jiexi also wants to better integrate into the local society, so joining a fraternity in college is a better choice. Another point is that he wants to have fun, and a fraternity where young people gather is a good choice.
Moreover, many American celebrities have more or less experience in participating in fraternities or sororities when they were young. The most famous example is of course former US President George Bush Jr.
However, in fact, the so-called fraternity is indeed an association attended by children of wealthy families with prominent status or superior family economic status.
At least, the annual dues paid to the fraternity are an expensive expense for the average student. What's more, those activities and parties held by the fraternity don't need a lot of money.
Therefore, even for most international students, it is not an affordable club.
But on the other hand, if your family's financial situation is good enough, and you are very ambitious and want to further expand your network, joining a society such as a fraternity may be a good way.
Although some avant-garde styles may have some negative impacts in the student days, when these characters graduate one by one, the value of the huge social network formed is self-evident.
If you want to develop in the United States for a long time in the future, or if you want to have an international career, these relationships will be of great help.
You should know that the membership of a fraternity is usually life-long, and similarly, the friends you meet in it will play a decisive role in all aspects of your social life, such as work, lawsuits, and business.
This is also the reason why Zhou Jiexi wants to join him, not only because of need, but also because he likes it is the most important thing. Although it is free, life tenure is not a joke. If everyone talks about it as a fraternity in the future, the effect will be self-evident!
Zhou Jiexi has several referees, and his status also fits the requirements of the ST Brotherhood. So as long as you go through the traditional test, you can make an alliance and become an official brotherhood member.
Because a few of the first batch of newcomers to start school have already been approved, and a few are still in the process of being reviewed, and Zhou Jiexi, a newcomer, is now a big brother assigned by the meeting, and is also being reviewed with this group of people. After all, he is a person of high status. Even if everyone is a senior in the club, they should give him some face.
Compared with these people, his joining is much simpler. After all, in the vote of the ST Brotherhood, those who agreed to join him already had an absolute advantage, and there was no need to conduct a long-term test and review if the vote failed.
In Stanford University, Zhou Jiexi was walking with two people on the road. He said to the handsome blond man next to him, "Jenny, you said that you have been audited for almost a semester? I just gave you the last assignment today? "
Jenny nodded excitedly: "Yeah, I hesitated when I did the first mission, so I didn't get voted by the majority members of the st brotherhood, and I missed the first chance to join. It's time for a second chance!"
Well, Jessie Zhou can't understand this kind of thing. It's just a cultural difference. In his opinion, Jenny is also a child from a wealthy family. As for joining a student organization, did he go to such great lengths?
But now it seems that people are really willing. After thinking about it, he asked a Japanese next to him, "How about you, Tom?" Although he is a descendant of a little devil, Jesse didn't like this a little bit last week. , but they are already the third generation of immigrants, and the relationship with those little devils is really weak.
In addition, this kid is really good at being a man, and he respects Zhou Jiexi in every possible way. This is the third boy he has accepted at Stanford. Compared with the first two, this kid is the most sensible.
Tom is already a bad street name, and his parents were really embarrassed to follow the trend and give him such a name. Tom Tanaka smiled wryly: "Head, I am the same, but I was not very lucky, something happened that day, and I failed the assessment of the Brotherhood!"
"Well, by looking at you, I know it's not a good thing!" Then he patted Tom on the shoulder: "Do it well today! This is your last chance, and I'm optimistic about you!"
Tom looked at Jessie Zhou with a wry smile, "Boss, I think you are definitely the easiest to complete this project. Jenny and I seem to need a little more time!"
"Yes, head, it looks like you have a good face, which is enviable for both men and women!" Jenny also interjected.
"Haha..." Zhou Jiexi ignored the two hard-working guys, and smiled triumphantly: "It's innate, you really can't envy it! But you can consider doing a good exercise." As he said that, Zhou Jiexi looked at the two of them: "Look at your physique, you usually go to the gym more, you have such a little muscle! You really don't look attractive to women!"
"Boss, stop hitting us!" The two looked at Zhou Jiexi resentfully and said.
Zhou Jiexi saw a lot of people going back and forth here, so he said to the two of them, "Okay, let's do something quickly!" Then he gestured to a few people in the distance , and they scattered around, pretending to be doing something, but in fact everyone was filming with a camera.
"Okay, quickly take out the banners, each of you takes one, and whoever reaches a hundred first will be considered as having completed the task." Zhou Jiexi looked at it seriously and said: "Remember to count the number yourself, The brothers who filmed over there will not tell you!"
"Good head!" Jenny and Tom responded loudly.
"But I'll give you a hint, when you can't attract people, you can consider taking the initiative!" Zhou Jiexi smiled and looked at the two people who were still grimacing, "Please, it's really simple, one of you is begging for a kiss, One is seeking to touch the chest, and the other has succeeded in both, and it counts twice! So work hard, guys!"
"Yeah!" The two nodded with reddened faces.
"Be happy, your smile will help you impress the ladies and let them give you a kiss!"
Then, the two took off their jackets a little embarrassedly, revealing the words written in English letters. On the front chest it reads "Can I Get a Kiss?" and on the back it reads "Come on! Kiss me!"
The banner was even simpler. Tom was afraid that he would not make enough, so he went all out and wrote on it: "Anyone who wants to kiss me, come here, male or female!" The fraternity is still very humane in this respect, As long as you can get or receive men, that also counts as your established number.
Jenny still has a little confidence in himself, thinking that as long as there are women, he can gather enough women for his mission. If you are lucky, if you meet a woman who agrees to touch her breasts, you can even get two points for one person!
In addition, he felt that his eloquence was not bad, so maybe he could get two points by making up a good reason. So his banner is simple: "Give me a kiss, lady!"
In addition to the women in the school, there are also many tourists who are here. These are all they need. One hundred people per person can be divided into several days, but repeated ones are not counted, and each day will increase by 10%.
The task time is five days, if it is really impossible to complete in the end, then there is no other way, accept and wait for the next assessment! If you want, the members of the fraternity will vote and take back the opportunity of the assessment given to you, because you are so bad that you failed two or three times, and waste is definitely not a necessity.
The people walking around suddenly noticed something strange, and looked at it along the line of sight. The man suddenly became surprised, while some of the women snickered and said a few words to the friends next to them, and some of them had a little bit of suspicion. Watching, some directly and boldly began to examine the two of them.
Of course, because of Tom's banner, many male compatriots also paid attention to him. A few even looked at him, Zhou Jiexi guessed that people would not be thinking, is Tom a gy?
Unexpectedly, soon a hearty woman walked over with a smile and looked at Jenny. The girl looked at him and asked, "Where do you want me to kiss?"
After getting off to a good start, he immediately released a smile on his face: "Hey, beauty, thank you! As long as there is a position on my face that you want to kiss, you can do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the girl kissed Jenny's right cheek. In the end, he said in his ear: "Your car is very similar to my boyfriend, although he is a jerk!"
Jenny's performance here made the fraternity members who were filming in the distance instantly envious. I didn't expect this quiz to be a good job. Jesse's idea is really great, but why does it look like this? Like benefits? Is he using power for personal gain?
However, this idea was instantly shattered when he saw the second kiss between Tom and Jenny!
