evon1221, I think it's important to consider what the goals for your group are. Do you want to be "top tier" group at all costs? You might take one strategy if that's the case. Do you want to be an alternative group to the current groups and draw in guys that don't want to haze, etc., and not care if everyone else likes you? You'd take another strategy if that's the case.

I have seen groups that were in the gutter with low membership take both of the strategies and achieve success (by this I mean high membership numbers, and the types of members and prestige they were seeking).
my chapter is not really trying to extremely distinguish ourselves from all the other frats, although there were certain things that myself and my brothers didnt like with the current greek situation at my school, which led us to become founding fathers of our own chapter. we definately dont want to be hated, but if that is the case then the other frats can go **** themselves. we have tried to interact with other frats and only a handful have respect for us.
