Thank you, I'm glad you are enjoying it. I really want people to LEARN from it as well. I think that many times, especially as alumni, we depend too much on the information in the Cross and Crescent, Paed., General Assembly etc. Of course hq always puts a positive spin on things, as they should and are expected to. But you really have to keep in mind the reality of the situation. It's been I think 5 years since I joined LXA, but today if I were to begin recruiting and helping rebuild GZ, I probably wouldn't be able to come up with any ideas that would actually work to get new brothers. The greek system at Umass has really changed that much in those short 5 years. Now on frat row instead of the typical big national fraternities in the houses (Pike, etc.), there are now Asian and Latino fraternities that I never even knew existed before.
People also need to remember that you are dealing with 18 and 19 and 20 year olds, especially in today's world. Most of the freshman now were already drinking and having sex by the time they were freshman in HIGH SCHOOL! I'm only in my mid 20's and that shocked even me.
Just remember to keep an open mind. Looks can be deceiving.
