You better hope the brothers of your new chapter don't say the same about you.

The active members of the chapter, just like the active members of the chapter you currently belong to got to decide whether you'd fit in with them or not. Ditto any other chapters that offered you bids.

Maybe you will fit in with them, or maybe you won't. But it's their call. And if they say "no," you'll still be a FIJI and still be their brother -- you just won't be a member of their chapter.

It's funny, though, how you keep talking about what brotherhood is about, but when it's suggested you ask how you could start helping and volunteering with the chapter now, you see that as being about wasting your summer and "proving" yourself instead of being about acting like the brother you claim to be. And by funny, I mean sad.

Why don't you direct your opinions to your Grand Council or whatever FIJI calls it and request they change their policy and procedures? We can't do anything here but direct you to your own resources (national web site/officers) which you seem not to be able to do on your own.

If you were at your first chapter wouldn't you be required to do those things anyways? So what is the difference if you do it for your old chapter or new chapter?

I have a 60hr/week job in the summer. Plus I doubt there are brothers living in the fraternity house. What good is it to contact them about volunteering now?

Everyone here is putting words in my mouth. I never said I'm against volunteering. But I would like to be accepted as a brother before I participate in activities within the fraternity such as philanthropy, formals, and such.

That is it... I call BS on this poser. I just can't believe that such a horse's ass is really a fraternity member. I don't believe a REAL brother would have such nasty things to say about his potential new chapter before he has even met them.

Now go away.

But the brothers at your new school would.

For the general topic, here is an example of one Delta collegiate chapter's policy on transfers:


1. Transferring membership from another chapter is immediate upon payment of local dues and submission of an official verification of payment of Grand Chapter dues.


2. Transfers must show verification and maintain a minimum 2.5 GPA.


This is why people need to contact NHQ/IHQ and schools/chapters rather than asking Greekchat for everything. :)

I'm not saying nasty things about them personally. I would meet them and chill with them before making a judgement. This would allow for them to make a judgement as well.

Anyways, I found out one of my good buddy's friend is in the fraternity as well as another one of my good friends. Looks like if my friends are really good friends with some of the brothers, then it shouldn't be a bad fit for me.

I call bullshit on this.

Did you actually initiate? Your first post says "completed the pledge process", but I don't know if that means you have actually been through initiation.

Dear das343,

You are not a very pleasant person.

XOXO,

Not bullshit at all actually. Most of my friends are in fraternities at my state school.

And yes, I did initiate. That's why I said I completed the pledge process.

I swear, everyone is now just trying to pick at every little thing they can just for the sake of attacking me. I hope the FIJI over at my state school isn't as bad as the jerkoffs on this message board.

I call bullshit.

Good for you.
