[Erik P Conard]

sure are a lot of outfits I never heard of these days.
Many, I gather, have no houses, and are little more than
a club or gang, do little for the community, have little to offer
their members, experience-wise--but still use greek letters...
Now I know some folks will get all bent out of shape and say
they have a wonderful organization...
times change; but is hard for me to feel that the traditional
fraternity is comparable to the small, non-housed, clubs we
see on site....but they do not compete with us in any way, and
I find it interesting when comparisons or justifications are made.
I never felt a fraternity was a rehabilitation outfit, and it was, and is, still, somewhat elite.
But, maybe we oughta give a PhD at birth, and badges along with
popcorn at ball games. Just some observations.
