Funny, this came up. I was just speaking with one of my mentees about Greek Life. I advised him to interact w/ members of ALL 5 D9 fraternities both on and off campus. If he feels that the org as a whole is something he wants to be a part of FOR LIFE, then he will make the right choice.
However, reading some of the comments in this thread, I think people overlook the importance of the chapter of initiation in relation to your Greek life. Your chapter of initiation makes you the XYZ you will be. (*ducking blows*) If your chapter grudgingly passes on right knowledge and protocol or has a history of hazing or prepledging or is just plain triflin', you will have to deal with those experiences. It takes more than one person, possibly even more than one line, to change a chapter.
Some people would rather deal with the foolishness of an undergrad/collegiate chapter than to dare submit at the alumnae/alumni level.
Not to mention, your intake process has a tremendous effect on how you view your org as a whole, whether you stay active or even if you affiliate with an alumnae chapter.
