Different wording for basically the same thing.

Have you all had a meeting where you discovered that you're the only one who feels this way? Have you talked to the brothers off the record to see if some are just buckling to peer pressure?
I get back to my original question, what was it beyond the social that attracted you? What did you feel you could relate to the other brothers and the national entity about? It's difficult to have primarily social interests without eventually geting a reputation as a party house. If you all have service and academic ventures in line with your fraternity's national initiatives, try bringing those to the forefront and the party guys and rich guys will either shape up or ship out.
