But do we just deny reality and shoot for a fake ideal? I can't blame the consultant, but my beliefs are biased. Why aren't there controls to maintain a "national character"? I wish I could tell you a way to build this inter-chapter respect that you talk about but every chapter of my fraternity is different in Chicago.
At my school, we're normal guys but we're not a house that participates too often in activities with other greeks, so we definitely have a smaller name. At another school, they're the basketball fraternity and at another, they're division I wrestlers that seriously scare us because they're so big. But at this one school, they play Dungeons and Dragons.
How do you simply put aside all differences and say we're one and the same?

Rudey - yes we have had that experience. There were chapters that we would click with - in particular Slippery Rock, which was chartered a month before us, so we were almost like twins. There were other chapters however, that we were kinda like "are we REALLY sisters?" They felt the same about us, I'm sure.
I wish that there could be more fun things for chapters to do, not just meetings and such, to give more opportunities to bond. Also once you get to be an alum, it lessens somewhat. I don't think that's cool though, that your consultant would act like he wanted to get away from the other guys. That definitely isn't the way to build inter-chapter respect. :rolleyes"
