Letter colors- while I prefer blue & gold, I don't get worked up about other colors.
Lack of knowledge- yes, this bothers me. I feel there is a basic set of knowledge that ALL Brothers should learn as pledges, and it bothers me when I met those that don't know stuff like this. Their chapter is doing a poor job of educating their pledges (and future Brothers). To help this, I developed a series of powerpoint presentations with accompanying worksheets that chapters may use in their pledge program.

When I was pledging we were supposed to sing the toast song at the end of every pledge class meeting. I think it would have meant a bit more if we had to wait but I think it was good b/c this was how I actually learned the song.
In my personal opinion I only like to wear blue and gold. I feel it's a little disrespectful when you don't.
I HATE IT WHEN BROTHERS DON'T KNOW THEIR HISTORY!!! I think that says enough right there!
