The Topic of quantity or quality comes up. I'm part of Sigma Lambda Beta and we go through a very rigourous pledge period, usually lasting a semester. We are looking for quality rather than quantity. What good is it if you cross a guy and can't call him your brother? That's what frat life is, building bonds with fellow brothers. We could get numbers if we wanted to, but that's not important to us. Who cares if you have large number of brothers, how many of those brothers have u actually sat down and talked to? Just my 2 cents.

...and on the flip side, how many of them stay active???

We have a chapter here and as one of my very good friends pledged, I SAW what they went through. They really started to get into abusing people- not pledging, but pure hazing.

Three years later, my friend rarely if ever speaks to his brothers and is not active. THe chapter here has all but died out because of how they treated prospectives. So I have to wonder sometimes.
