Don't be held prisoner by a misplaced sense of loyalty. Nothing, not one thing you told us about the XYZs would encourage us to join, so why should you? If you go back there you'll be stuck in the same chapter-wide mentality the rest of them have. Do what the D-Phi-E said: make the rounds, don't trash your original house (don't talk about them at all unless someone brings it up), and do talk about what you think you can contribute to a good fraternity chapter. I am familiar with chapters like XYZ. They know what they should do and what they should be, but they are too weak. Their identity and their leadership is just not strong enough to prevail. There is little liklihood that they will ever be a great chapter because they will recruit men who will prepetuate the weakness.
Go through rush, join another house and leave the XYZs to themselves. It happens all the time. Don't deny yourself one of the great experiences of your life.
