Yup, cause all male chapters are not apo right?
Now, on pledging, pledging a weak applicant is like having a weak link in the chain or like having a coward in the ranks. I'd rather have ten people that bleed their fraternity than 200 people that are only active for a semester or two.
And on being like more a traditional fraternity as opposed than being different and accepting of all? I mean, it works a whole lot better than being a huge blob of unorganized and uncommitted brothers. I'll put my money where my mouth is, I think we won more national awards than anyone in region V, and hands down we were one of the smallest chapters to.
Now when my grandfather pledged Alpha Phi Omega in 1954, they're chapter was incredibly selective. Eagle Scouts and military only, I asked him how many service projects they did and he said 'well we ran a bookstore'. I was like is that it?
It was apparently the same thing my chapter early on as well, Pi Chi from what I hear was just an extension of rotc.
Attending national stuff doesn't really even register to me anymore as part of a 'fraternity resume' that a bunch of people keep throwing around here. I attended this and this, who the hell cares.
