OK pikes109, maybeyou can help me see this from the other side of the issue. Because that I don’t get. No offense, but how can you not get on with a group you don’t even know? At my campus, we have a new chapter (I am not sure if they have their charter yet) anyway, for some reason we don’t get along at all. I don’t know why, because we are COMPLETELY different chapters. We recruit to WAY different groups, and the makeup of our chapters is really different. But they resent us and don’t even know us. We don’t resent them or hate them, because we have NO reason to. They arent even considered a threat to us, because our orgs are so diff. Not that we really care that much, but since it was brought up I thought Id mention it. The part I find HILLARIOUS is that if it weren’t for my org, they wouldn’t even be on campus. We were the ones that urged IFC into expansion talks. It was our brother who headed up the Expansion committee, it was our urging that selected that org. Our bothers even helped their expansion teams. I guess they don’t have a sense of their own history, or know where they come from. I understand how my chapter is a bit cocky, but we have earned the right to be proud. We won the basketball championship. Almost always are first in grades, have had the biggest rushes the past few semesters. Have great relations with the school, and always have the student Govmt presidency. We also have 100% involvement in student orgs. We have good parties, and great atheletes. We are the second oldest fraternity on campus, and have been at the university for 23 years (young school, young system). So I kinda thnk we have the right to be proud of who we are. We have the campus rep for being gentlemen, and that’s what the ladies always say about us. Yeah, we have our players and jerks, but ALL OF US DO. So I dunno who these boys think they are. Wew have just chalked it up to posturing. We usually just ignore em, ‘cause it’s a non-issue. We have more important things to do. We have our traditional rivalry with one of the older more established orgs, just cause we have a history with them.
