I really don't know what to say about it all. Most of the people on GC that know me somewhat think I'm one of a kind or that something is wrong with me......but I'm really ok and I'm not "that guy" from my old chapter. If you ask me Pike's strongest and best chapters are in the Sunshine State (Cali represents big,too). When I was in school my chapter was kicked off campus and our charter pulled, it shattered our chapter. I wont go into details why but it's the same thing over and over again with chapters here IMO. It wasnt even a year after having our charter back (Alpha Eta) that those guys got in more trouble fucking up the lion at UCF and pulling up stop signs. Since then the chapter has calmed down to my knowledge but then we have UCF's chapter getting expelled and its charter pulled after it's issues. If you ask me I was just waiting for UCF to get nailed.....I knew it was going to happen sooner or later. I know some of the guys from that chapter and they were just like us at UF. Miami (UM) kind of surprises me but then again it really doesnt. I mean c'mon......the chapter is in Miami for god's sake. Those pimps are just as wild as any of us. I don't know about the financial troubles, though. That sounds kinda odd. USF hasnt been in any trouble because, well, they're USF. If you're not a Pike in Florida you wont understand. I'm not wishing anything on any chapter, but I hope to god FSU keeps running strong and doesnt fuck up somewhere along the way. If they fuck up, Pike is done in Florida. Its kind of funny, though. Whenever you go to a festival like Guvaween or spring break in key west or in panama city or Ultra in Miami.....somehow you always end up meeting brothers from different chapters. With the exception of USF, I've come to see a resemblence in guys from my fraternity in my state. Most of us kind of dress the same...it's wierd. Depending on what years they were active most of them are in really good shape. Even some guys from out of state are the same. I met some brothers from Georgia Tech in Panama City in 99. Me and 6 other guys were fucked up like all hell, stumbling down some stairs and barely able to walk out of club la'vela. 2 guys walked up to us and asked if we had taken some G....we said yea and they wanted some immediately. After hanging out with them for 10 minutes we found out they were Pikes from Georgia Tech. It was soooo funny. They ended up coming to Ibizza with us and I still talk to Clay and Jimmy to this day. They come hang out for Florida/Georgia every year. I could be wrong but I think their chapter got in some trouble, too. As I said earlier, same shit but a different chapter. Gotta feel bad for them, though, I know exactly what they're going through.
And if anyone out there reading this is thinking about joining Pike in Florida......do it, but enjoy it while it lasts.
