SigEp International is coming off as a immature ex that dumps you. Then when the ex hears you are dating someone new, they want to get back together, but you tell them no. As you are trying to walk away the ex is holding onto your leg and being dragged down the street. The ex is shouting, "it's not over til I say it's over".
I know everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but I'm not happywith this comparison of my national fraternity. I seriously doubt SigEp HQ would act petty or immature toward the W & L former SigEps or ADPhi. I would imagine that HQ's taking this position because of insurance and paperwork problems. It might possibly be a risk managment concern-since they didn't go alumni, they could possibly still be considered members of SPE. But, since they are still a functioning fraternity chapter (the guys are holding rush, etc.), HQ is concerned that they are now open to liability, since the guys could legally still be considered SigEps, (because the offer of alumni status was rejected) but SigEp HQ has no control over the chapter or any way to limit their liability, since the guys have "affiliated" with ADPhi.

In Phi,
