aw, dzsaigirl, sounds like you got a dose of New England hospitality. I think we're just a more domestic breed- don't like to waste time on social niceties. We also don't like to impose on other people, or to be imposed on. I have to supress my horror when I see people in Greek letter shirts- it's just so 'look at me, look at me'. It was a huge struggle to get my chapter to buy them, and I have to make myself wear mine- I can't stand it, and I cover it whenever I can. Greek letters also smack of elitism, and there is no worse sin in New England. You might be a dread Republican.
boilingbaker, we tried that. They won't touch this campus with a ten foot pole. TKE, Pike, and SAE all used to have chapters here, and none of them are interested in coming back- EVER. They've been very clear about that. Sigma Chi and Alpha Tau Omega have been contacted, and weren't interested. Nobody wants to walk into a bad situation- they're all willing to try if there's already an interest group, but they won't come and just start recruiting. Theta Chi was the first fraternity to send a real recruitment person here in decades, and that was only after 10 years of pressure from their alumni- this is their Gamma chapter, I believe. And even they're cautious- this is the fourth time they've recolonized here. The last try didn't even get their charter, the colony was shut down for hazing.
