Why resort to physical violence when you can cause more damage by fcuking around with their minds?

We try not to initiate girls who have violent tendencies.

Sorry, never happened in my chapter.

Maybe some noses to noses and toes to toes, but no really fist a cuffs.

Oh some Alum went nuts at a Founders Day Dinner and wanted to take on a very Low Number, not Me, but in the Teens and That was taken care of very quickly.

Tension can run high, and that is why I suggested not passing the gavel. Oh, saying what You feel in a Meeting and is not supposed to go outside of it. Wrong. People still have it in mind!

Just have a sit down with some Execs and discuss it, then try to get over it.

I had this happen once in my chapter. One girl got kicked out the other left b/c she did not like how everything went down. It split my pledge class in half and hurt the house. It was probably the worst moment of my times in the house. I hope no one has to go thru that.

Luckily the verbal assaults came because of personality and internal conflicts and I've never seen sisters go at it because of a guy.

True. The fights in my undergrad chapter were over power (who would do what, when and how), and always reason and common sense won out, i.e., did we have enough money to support someone's ~grand idea~.

My my my.

My first few years in college I witnessed many drunk fights between guys. They usually happened between Super Drunk Guy A and Semi-Sober Guy B. Usually Semi-Sober Guy B didn't fight back too hard - just to kinda block himself from being hit, and usually chapter brothers would break up the fights and take Super Drunk Guy A to go to sleep somewhere.

Nothing really happened to either guys as far as discipline goes by the fraternity.

One particular disturbing night, I witnessed Super Drunk Guy A hit Sober Girl A, and it wasn't pretty. The most disturbing part is that some of his brothers were there and witnessed it too, but lied to police and said nothing happened. As far as I know, nothing happened to him discipline-wise from the fraternity either. But I guess since she wasn't a member of the fraternity it doesn't count as an internal conflict

The only fights/tensions we really had were built over sisters with power. Mainly a past president who had trouble trusting anyone else to do anything right. She tried to control everything and when it was time for her term to end she didn't handle it well. She tried to handpick a new president who was a very nice girl but was too nice. meaning she didn't have a backbone to be president and deal with the problems. Everyone in the chapter pretty much saw that the past president was just pushing someone she knew she could control into running so we elected another girl who ended up winning president of the year at our greek awards. Other than that though most fights were just your basic friendship fights and were resolved easily between whoever was involved

Fights within the chapter
 

I remember during one of our color nights two actives got in each other's face but nothing happened. It really sucked because the pledges were exposed to the whole thing but fortunately nothing happened.

No. My chapter was not big enough to need an e-board or specific committee. We just usually talked it out among ourselves. One or two people would have an idea, we'd discuss it, then check with the tresurer (?sp) to see if it would fit in the budget.

The power issue usually stemmed from something like, 'Hey, let's have a yellow tea rose rush theme in the 'blue room' in the MSC', then someone would say, 'No, let's go with a poodle theme and have it in a room in the library.' Then we'd (the chapter) would just discuss it.

...yeah, that's what I mean by the passive aggressive stuff that will just ruin entire semesters for chapters...

This has never happened in my chapter and I hope it never does.
