If your child is rushing at a school where you know your chapter hazes or is on discipline/probation, would you still want them to join your organization, or would you prefer it that he/she joined a different one on campus?
I don't have any sons, but both of my nephews (ages 16 and 13) have said that they want to join Sigma Chi when they go to college. Of course, I would be happy if they did and would be at the initiation ceremony, come hell or high water. But, honestly, after having been on GC for a while, I now hope that they find a chapter that they are happy with. If it is Sigma Chi, fantastic. If not, I just hope that they find a place they like and can make an impact. Of course, there are a couple of GLOs that I have jokingly told them I would quit speaking to them if they joined.
