Not to mention sending only the pledges to mixers - probably worse since alcohol is involved. So pledges AND initiated members play on the basketball teams. So what??? That's how it should be.
"Calling a spade a spade" is fine amongst your brothers or behind closed doors, but to do as he did in a public manner is not mature or professional. It makes him look like he has a big chip on his shoulder against Sigma Chi, and/or makes it look like sour grapes because the chapter he advises is losing rushees to them. I've never been to Miami, have no clue of the fraternity reputations there, and that's exactly how it comes across to me.
As you're a dude who can pee anywhere, I think you're completely misinterpreting this statement. I've had times where I had to pee so bad I didn't care if a stall was out of order, either. It had nothing to do with the person who was informing me of the state of the stall.
Here's my question: if Pi Phi is such a raging bunch of alcholic brats who drag the whole Greek community down, why have they continued to exist? Why do they keep getting good sized pledge classes? Why do fraternities continue to mix with them? Obviously the only time that anyone truly gives a shit about what they do is when they get caught and it gets Miami's name dragged through the mud.

All of this! I'm so tired of people b*tching that they can't make their pledges do this or that anymore. What is wrong with a whole chapter participating in an event with their new members? Secondly, whatever anyone else says, coming onto a message board and trashing a chapter is not okay. It really wreaks of jealousy. It sounds like a bunch of people think it's time to pile on and tear down the competition while they're on their knees. Newsflash...they don't need your help.
