I'm going to have to think about that. I'll get back to you. It's a toss up between Aristotle and Socrates for me right now...

Pythagoras for the win!! !

Ok, joking, perhaps Aristotle. I dunno, I don't focus much on greek philosophers although perhaps I should!

I'd rather have Aristotle than both Plato and Socrates together. ;p

Looking back, this is probably one of the most ambiguously gay posts I've made so far.

To be clear, I admire Aristotle for his intelligence - nothing else. It's incredible to think that 47 of his published books survived out of an estimated 170+. These alone were highly fundamental to the academic western world, and are still important over two millenia later. Imagine, in another thousand years we'll all be forgotten, but Aristotle's brilliance will live on. We're all nobodies! :cry: But... did Aristotle ever enjoy information at his fingertips with the world wide web, or go blazing down a German autobahn in a Porsche at break-neck speeds, or hurtle through the clouds in a snazzy new wingsuit? Touche. :wink: Anyway, I'll have plenty of time to worship Aristotle later, I need to study for my exams now.

I wouldn't pick any of the ones you've listed.

Although I did find the title misleading, I would choose Socrates.

(I thought it was going to be about frats, and I really want to join Delta Tau Chi)

Actually, I would pick Roscelin or Ockham. However, of the ones you listed, I selected Aristotle. The reason? At least he was not Socrates or Plato. ;-)

I thought this would be about fraternities. I'm not from Greece and don't know anything about Greek life coaches so I'm not sure which person I'd like the best.
