I guess those people are pretty weak. No one I know who pledged "bad" chapters ended up being silently complicit or adopting the characteristics of that chapter. And no it's not "silly" to work at changing the rep of a chapter. And even if the rep doesn't get any better, if you carry yourself a certain way, people will realize that you aren't like that.

Sorry, but I just can't see basing a lifetime decision on ONE chapter's antics. I guess if it's that bad you should just wait and do Grad.
