And I think it's silly to join a chapter and try to change it. There is an entire period of formal and informal indoctrination which occurs after initiation that perpetuates a chapter's identity.

Most good people I know who pledged bad chapters are either silently complicit or adopted the characteristics of the chapter.

I guess those people are pretty weak. No one I know who pledged "bad" chapters ended up being silently complicit or adopting the characteristics of that chapter. And no it's not "silly" to work at changing the rep of a chapter. And even if the rep doesn't get any better, if you carry yourself a certain way, people will realize that you aren't like that.

Sorry, but I just can't see basing a lifetime decision on ONE chapter's antics. I guess if it's that bad you should just wait and do Grad.

What organization are you a member of?

What organization are YOU a member of?

I don't mean that as harshly as it sounds. :)

Alpha Phi Alpha. Yourself?

Wow. What chapter did you pledge?

Omega Lambda Chapter. We're on the web, google us.

Still no answer, huh?

sure thing what year did you pledge?

not yet :)

One can't share what one doesn't have.

We've ruled out it being my frat.

lol I don't think it's safe yet to make assumptions, but no it's not your frat. It would be a sorority. Don't be fooled by the name. I'm female.

By the way Knight, what is Omega Delta Phi Fraternity?

Google works wonders. Try it out.

I did. Looked it up on wikipedia. Although I know sometimes Wikipedia isn't that accurate.

National websites usually are, though.
