I have several friends that are a part of Kappa Alpha Psi. I have heard them talk numerous times on this. I think they feel many join the frat later to possibly avoid the lengthy pledgeship and what it entails. (I think many also question if people just want the letters) I am sure you have an idea what being a pledge was like for many of your brothers, so maybe you can get a sense of why they feel this way?
I know a few athletes (football) that did not pledge and wanted too, but it was just too hard due to their responsibilities. I can understand that, but it was also looked upon as taking the easy way out.
You just have to rise above it. You have to demonstrate all the reasons why you wanted to be there in the first and establish a name for yourself while improving your fraternity. In time, this will all seem so silly and you will be a solid example for others to follow. You will also gain respect from the young and old alike. Best of Luck!
