I considered pledging one, but decided to help re-charter the APO chapter at my school. Not because I felt a need to belong, but because of what the chapter of that fraternity stood for.........I am sure that is the reason most people pledge....

Making the statement that you did is like saying that people join APO because they couldn't get into a social org or cut it once they got in. And there's many people that may join APO just to have letters and to belong somewhere. It may be true in a few or some circumstances, but it's not true across the board, so it's not good to make such a broad statement. You said "many people" and are making a judgment on all social orgs.
Sorry, it just came across as very insulting and disrespectful towards social orgs and their members.
