Glorious 1986 Theta Chi Rush Video Emerges, Is A Must-Watch

Danny Regs came across this little gem while doing some research for “Why Your Fraternity Sucks.” Since he’s balls deep in writing his column, out of the goodness of his heart he handed it off to me. What you’re about to watch is the 1986 rush video for Theta Chi at the University of Maryland. It goes without saying that the ’80s were a time when rush videos still showed that “anything goes” attitude that is no longer accepted by society. This was a time when there were no worries about outrage. No worries about offending anyone. It was the best of times. And this might be the best rush video from that era.

It’s well worth the 20 minutes.

“Am I going to get laid, or am I going to remain a virgin throughout my college career?” Talk about coming in hot. That’s one hell of a subliminal message.

There’s no doubt in my mind that these guys are all wildly successful now. They just exude a level of confidence and leadership that you want in both a fraternity man and CEO. The sad part is that had these guys posted this in 2015, they’d be kicked off campus.

    30 years later and FIGI is still a bunch of powder puffs. It’s good to know they’ve stayed true to their roots

      A) This video is about Theta Chi, B) It’s FIJI, not “FIGI”, and C) I scheduled your euthanization appointment for this Friday at 11, please let me know if this works for you

        A. If you watched video they made fun of “FIJI” B. It should be fairly obvious by my comment I don’t fucking care how they spell it
        C. I already have an appointment with your mother at 11 on Friday so I guess you’ll have to reschedule it.

      And Phi Delt is still gay!

      What the fuck happened to Theta Chi, cool to see they kept their house but half of the residents now are sorority girls.

    I’m getting nostalgic about a time period I wasn’t even alive during. We need to cut this PC shit and go back to the 80’s.

    This is a great video, but times have definitely changed. Theta Chi at UMD is a bunch of goobers now; from what I hear, they can’t get enough guys to fill up their chapter house so they have some sisters from a couple different sororities living there.

    “There are more important things than money and drugs, and power and sex, and hopefully the fraternity will teach me what those things are.”
