I appreciate all of the advice so far. I have spoken with the group about the situation already. Many of the brothers either don't care or are happy with our/their level of invlovement or behavior. Also, more than half of the pledge class feels the same. One of the replies said I should think about what had attracted me in the first place. I have and the thing that attracted me was brotherhood, something that this chapter is lacking. To change the group I would need to personally rush the whole new class for the next two years, while also waiting for the older brothers to leave. I am not sure if I am selfish but I don't look forward to that idea. I joined becuase I cared about the group and it was fun. It has ceased to be fun and it would be me and two other guys arguing that things need to change for most of my college career. A few other guys feel this way but are too nervous and/or apathetic to de-pledge. I may be also. Should I just accept what the group is even if I am not happy? I don't think I am allowed to go talk to other houses about getting a spring bid. I also don't look forward to being a pledge again. <laugh> I appreciate everyone's help/advice. Thanks.
