RE: Which Is Better?

I'd like to offer a couple of observations that may assist you.

The first thing you should notice about this is that all three are undoubtedly exemplary organizations. You'd probably have an outstanding experience and develop a strong sense of real brotherhood in any of them. The second thing you should notice is that you clearly need to investigate your options more (otherwise you'd have already made your decision).
When I was going through rush, I was certain that I had made up my mind about the GLO I wanted to pledge. During a conversation I had with one of the senior members, he suggested to me that since the responsibility you take upon yourself as a member of a fraternity is life-long, it's imperative that you consider all of your options to be sure you are making an informed decision. I checked out several of the other chapters on campus (some more closely than others), and found a lot of respect for one of the other chapters before finally making my decision. In investigating all of my options, I realized two very important facts: 1) there are many GLOs on campus, each of which has their particular strengths, and 2) my original decision was still the best decision. It was this research that served in part to strengthen my attachment for my Fraternity and my brothers.

GLOs can differ from chapter to chapter and from campus to campus. One would do well to exercise caution when making statements such as these to avoid unnecessarily burning bridges. Having such reservations about any particular GLO is one thing, expressing them publicly is another.

Since your profile indicates you're currently 15 years old (with your 16th arriving next month), you've got a few years in which to make up your mind. I would recommend taking the opportunity to meet the members of the chapters you're considering joining and getting to know the kind of atmosphere and strengths each can provide. Ultimately, the choice of which fraternity to rush should be made by you and no one else. The only other point you'll want to consider is that every GLO prefers brothers who earn grades commensurate with their abilities. Concentrate on succeeding in school, and success in Greek life will surely follow. Good luck! :cool:
