trying to charter
I'm with Colony 758 at the University of Arkansas at Monticello. We have been trying very hard to charter but it seems almost impossible to reach that magical number of 35. We've been the largest fraternity on our campus for about 6 years. What the International fraternity doesn't realize is by blocking us from chartering all they are doing is hurting us. The only thing our competition has to use against us is the fact that we don't have our charter and they tell prospects that we are not a real fraternity. it has cost us some men. The guys on our campus still hang out with all their buddies from high school because they are all going to school here. Which means alot of them aren't interested in going Greek. We're only allowed one rush event a semester and that is a Formal Intrest Meeting that is our campus' rules. If we try to have any other social events the same fraternity always goes and snitches on us whether we get it approved or not. We have to submit paperwork a month in advance before we do anything in our room beside a Colony meeting. It would be nice if the Tekes around us would help us, but I'm through barking up that tree. They just want to come to the party when we do charter. It would be nice to have some help or understanding from the International fraternity. oh well I guess that's wishful thinking. Any help and/or advice would be very appreciated. I'm the Rush Chair and trying to plan out how we are going to pull and large group of guys in the Spring because it is always the hardest semester for us because most of the guys that wanted to pledge pledged this semester. Thanks in advance. YITB
