[KEPike]

On my campus at Rockhurst Univ. there are only about 1500 students and 3 fraternities and 2 sororities, for about 20% involvement in Greek Life.

From a fraternity standpoint, Pike has 60 guys, TKE has 30, and Alpha Delta Gamma has 2. SAE was kicked off our campus recently for hazing with about 45-50.

Without the SAEs on campus, the Pikes main competition I guess is from TKE. Pike is the only organization with university housing, and basically dominates without competition. However, how hard is it to really dominate if your chapter has no real rival?

As an active, I helped create this success for my chapter. Now, as an alum, alot of my hard work is going down the drain because the chapter is becoming lazy. In my opinion, they are taking on the attitudes and ideas of the lesser chapters because they don't have to worry about losing rush or Homecoming or things like this. Those things that we worked so hard to win now are second thoughts!

I would love to see Sig Ep or Beta come onto our campus although the university will not let them. It would motivate the Pikes and hopefully the other chapters on campus to get their acts together. Even when Pike was not the top chapter on our campus, we at least had a standard to look up to. Now, even at the top, there is no one climbing the mountain!

This is Eric's point and is incredibly insightful and indicative of how ALL GLO's should think. Regardless of anything else, competition is a great way to build leadership skills in an organization, and needs to be embraced by ALL GLO's!!!
