We have two chapters here. One of about 15 cities across the nation who have two Lambda Chi chapters.

Unfortunately, we dont really get along that well with our brothers from <school name deleted to protect brothers from embarassment>. While we go to the large state school (20,000+ students) and they go to the small catholic school (4,000 students), their chapter seems to be, how shall I say, a little rough around the edges. It also doesnt help that our two chapters couldnt be more different.

Ever since I moved to SA, we have wanted to have better relations withthem, but stuff keeps happening that makes us not wanna chill with them at all. Examples:

1."Mashing" at one of our parties and throwing one of our brothers through a plate glass window in our house 'cause they were so into it.
2.Starting numerous fights with our guests at our parties.
3.After being asked to leave one of our parties because of their behavior they complain, and as they are leaving fire a couple of rounds into the air for emphasis.
4.Bring SKANKS to our parties, or show up uninvited to our formal with 25 skanky chicks who try to start fights with our dates.
5.Meet with the consultant and when they realize they are going to get in trouble for drug usage in the chapter, try to avert his attention off of them by laying hazing allegations against our chapter, causing us a huge headache.

Were just different groups. One of their brothers has his ribs pierced. WTF is that? Also they think were stuck up. We are always hospitible to them when they show up unannounced, and feed them, and share our beverages with them. We've helped them rush time and time again. We dont mind, because its helping a brother. We have a 70 man chapter and can do it. They only have 20 men or so, so we can help them out but they are always ungrateful and disrespectful. Our consultant recommended that we do alumni events with them. Um, no. Dont see that happening anytime soon.

It sucks that we have a great opportunity to share our brotherhood with another chapter and there are these impediments in the way.

If we do anything with another chapter its always the Southwest Texas chapter. Those guys rock and are always cool. They party just like us and we've been doing stuff with them for years now. They come to our stuff, we go to their stuff. Our chapters are alot alike and is always a blast when we get together. Jsut wish SWT was across town and not 45 minutes away.

My 2 cents.
