I wholeheartedly agree with your statement. However, the guys that I know wanted to be apart of this particular national because of everything that it represents. There are other chapters in the state that are very strong and do the national justice.
On the other hand, the chapter in question was weaker (less than 10 actives). The two guys wanted to pledge (not the PC word any more) and become active to turn things around. That didn't happen. While on line (slang term for the new member period before initiation), the majority of the actives were "frivolous" but things got worse as time progressed. It was all about the next party and no service, which was the main thing that the guys wanted to change. It got to be too much and the guys quit before initiation. The chapter lost its national recognition the following semester.
It was a shame.
