Did you go to college to get an education, or to pledge Sig Ep?

When I see posts by students who are considering transfer over a greek organization, it makes me cringe. School activities should be secondary!

Further, let's say you have a chapter at your school, but they are a bunch of jack-asses with bad grades who haze heavily. Would you dad expect you to pursue membership? Your (greek) family should understand that a person should go with the best fit.

I think there are much bigger issues going on here. It's time for your dad to accept that you are your own man, and do not exist to follow in his footsteps. I say this because if you're considering a transfer over a fraternity just to please him, it's going to be a long road for you ahead.
