I'm attempting a mix of the responses here.
My ideal candidate is my big brother, Kyle. He is less strict than I am, and more passive, but ultimately a more passionate brother. Unfortunately, he's gotten into some negative publicity with the older members of the fraternity (picking arguments that left him looking bad) and the newer members are unsure about his competency.
I only hope I can convince them all during elections that Kyle puts the fraternity first over selfish wants like, "No way in hell I'm gonna wake up on Saturday at 7am for a Philanthropy event! I've got 2 days off a week and I deserve my rest on them!" that the popular negative brother announces during the meetings at times. Of course, no wonder we have so little turnout on our community service events!
As for negative campaigning... I am expressing my concerns to other brothers in the form of private queries about who best does what job, and who is most reliable, and who cares the most about this fraternity. While all their responses agree that the negative brother isn't winning any honor contests, he's still popular for his rebellious attitude. I guess he brings out the primal animal instincts in them.
