PAYING FOR FRIENDS???
If one does not saying mind me saying,
BULL SHIT!!!!
I started My local, and I was the only one! I went out and talked to a Bunch of Farm types with not a lot of money even though I was from the big city, K. C.!
The rectiods who think that have never been around a bunck of kids who work to pay school and Fraternity/Soroitys dues.
Why? To belong to a group so that they can work their butts off in getting better grades while making a Homecoming a hit, several Charity Events! My Chapter does 3 a year. Not counting many side events, like working with shut ins and kids Orgs.
What is built out of those 4-5 years that I have been and am still Fantastic Friends with for 30 + Years!
Put that in you nose and sniff it Dopey Head buy your friends!
