And why, exactly, do you all care so much? You're all securely there in your "top tiers", right? Then just stay up on your high horses and let these other groups go about their business. There's a way to be "elite" without being judgmental jerks, you'll grow as men when you figure out how to do it.

I think the point is that someone wanted to know what the best houses at Kansas are. I understand that a colony offers something to a certain kind of person, but we all agree that Sigma Nu at Kansas is clearly not currently one of the top houses there. So it was not a correct answer to the question to suggest that it is, and I see no reason why people should be vilified for pointing that out.

Answering the question was fine, differing opinions were fine, debating with the over-zealous alum was fine. But the last page or so was rapidly turning from simply "pointing that out" into a frat-pounding that the colony doesn't need nor did it bring it upon itself.

And if "frat-pounding" has the same meaning as the (joke) term "frat slam", I think you may be using it incorrectly.

I kind of made it up (I thought), so I don't know what "frat slam" is (left my fratspeak to English dictionary at home, dang!), but it doesn't sound good. I probably didn't mean that, whatever it is (and I don't need a definition, that's ok).

I guess it would depend on which Fraternity you are refering to and how close they are!

If they are a Jewish Fraternity that may be true. But knowing a bit about KU recruitment, over all you are incorrect!

KU has a strong Greek Community with big houses and memberships for most!

But of course in The Major Houses membership counts!

OOPS they have to pay the bills!:rolleyes:

Entreprenureal men seek fresh opportunities. Therefore, Sigma Nu will pull some dynamic leaders right out of the gate. Sigma Nu dominated at Kansas for decades as one of the top fraternities. They have a huge pipeline of legacies that will want to join. They have a great chapter house. They have unlimited alumni resources. Sigma Nu is one of the strongest and most highly regarded national organizations. Sigma Nu has a four-year ethical leadership development program (LEAD) which will be very attractive to mature, ambitious men.

Suggesting "they are going to suck for 5-10 years" is foolishness. I can cite plenty of examples where that thinking is just plain wrong. Check our www.fsupikes.com, for example...

I was browsing their site and I'm surprised that their President and Rush Chairman are Hispanic... since usually "Top Tier" fraternities at competitive schools don't bid many minorities, according to most posters on frattinghard/old row.
