As a former President of my chapter I can say I did not enjoy working with any composite servicer. They are shady as hell. Back in the day before email was a big source of communication they used to make you sign a contract and shadily put other contracts hidden beneath so you couldn't read them. You'd then get into a big mess and be locked into their contract for years and they'd raise the prices. NEVER sign anything that is for more than 2 years. I had this problem where Fraternal Composite Services dug up this old contract from 4 years before me and claimed we were still under contract for a composite service where we had 40+ brother minimum. We had 18 actives at the time (which is another story). I told them we did not have the funds to pay for such a composite.They got real nasty with me and started talking about lawsuits and crap. I basically kicked and screamed our way out of the contract. Finally, somehow I got us out of it and decided to look at GreekYearbook. I heard a lot of people were switching over to it. Then I heard a lot of rumors that their composites looked like shit and the pictures are of poor quality. I then signed a one year contract back with Fraternal Composite Services and got a deal that didn't break our bank, but was still absolutely ridiculous.
Needless to say, Fraternal Composite Services do a great job, but they are expensive as hell and are very shady. If anyone can back up GreakYearbook and tell me how their compisite services are (as well as the quality of the actual composites themselves) it would be a great help to this chapter in the future. I hope my experiences helped anyone as well.
