I highly doubt any self respecting Southerner - especially members of "old row" chapters and or a chapter where one's Daddy and Great Grand Daddy are members and family and tradition matter - would entertain splitting from their fraternity just to join up with other "like minded" souls to form some "new" fraternity. Frankly, it would be disrespectful and insulting to their heritage. And besides, the old boy (girl) network is alive and well and anyone of means will still belong to the more established and respected chapters. Not some nouveau/fly by night (I can't get my way so I'm leaving) fraternity.

Now if some yahoo feels that they aren't man enough to make things happen either locally or on an inter/national level, then they shouldn't let that solid oak door slam them on their turncoat butt when they leave.
