Fraternity

[mrwonder]

Once I cross and become an official member. Can I become active and stop going to the events? and would I have to pay a due if i can?

Well first of all, the term 'active' implies 'actively involved.' If you don't want to participate once becoming initiated, you may need to rethink your decision to join a fraternity in the first place. You only get out of it what you put into it.

Second, I'm sure all (inter-)national GLOs charge their chapters fees for liability insurance and general dues on a per-man basis, so if you're listed as a member of your chapter, your chapter is paying for you to be there, thus they're going to pass the cost along to you in the form of local dues.

Are you concerned about not having the time to commit to a fraternity, or for what other reason would you want to join, but then virtually quit right away?

I really find the OP question pretty offensive.

Why join a fraternity with little or no idea of wanting to participate.

Just having a Greek name in your resume does not mean you are one.


Either be a full time member or do not join.

I totally agree with Tom's response. Either be an active brother or quit the fraternity!!!!!

THE DECISSION IS YOURS!!!!!

I think the "You need to not worry about pledging a fraternity and pledge the library" phrase applies here. Also, I think this person needs to DE-pledge from Alpha Gamma Presumptious.
