I agree that it did look a little suspect that the brothers waiting until they were about to cross. I think that if BOTH Earl and Steve were showing signs that they weren't on point (and trust they were showing that rather early) then I would have had to be like, "Um, time for a meeting!" with my chapter. They would have had to go earlier in the game. But then again the whole line was not on point at times...let's not forget that beer pong table.

I still stand by my statement that I'm glad that Steve didn't cross, because like I said, the entire time he wasn't on point. He was disrespecting his LBs by not being on time to events, not studying and being on the "up and up" with frat information. He was not on point during pledge session--ya'll remember that extremely early during the process, he was bitchin about having to go to study session with his LBs or spending time with them up in the Union. He threatened his LBs. He sucked all around.

Now Earl, he also sucked in the beginning by acting very spoiled and whiny, and also he had to grapple with his "anger management" problems, but I did see an improvement with him as the process went on. He may not have been serious about it at first, but then he stepped up a little bit. I didn't see a big change in Steve at all...but now he's acting all remorseful because he didn't cross over with everybody else. Hello...this is not a free ride. If the rest of your LBs can step up then he could have done it too.

So while I agree that it could have been handled in a better way (because don't get me wrong, the brothers REALLY could have done that a lot better), Steve didn't deserve to be a brother. But that's just me.
