I am a Teke because I did not want to endure the abuse that another fraternity tried to impose on me after I pledged them, and of course this was after talking about Brotherhood all week during rush. Once I agreed to accept their bid, then I was hollered at, insulted and so forth until I asked" Hey, what happened to the Brotherhood you guys told me about last week"
His reply? "You have to EARN that scumbag" (by cleaning up a mess after a party while having beer cans and insults being hurled at me?)
My reply: "FUCK YOU". And I walked off and it was several years before I would even TALK to a fraternity man again. Thank God that I listed to the guy from TKE.........
Further - I don't think chapters should attempt to achieve "Pledge Class Unity". I would prefer that they attempt to achieve CHAPTER UNITY.
Just my two cents on the matter.
