Leaving and Starting Question

Has there been any cases of a brother leaving a fraternity and starting their own? Let me know.

Peace

Besides possibly mocking you, no not really. Unless you're trying to start a chapter of an already established fraternity, there's nothing they could do.

Well, they could make sure you never get a seat at the IFC table.

But yeah, they would definitely mock. I want to mock just because someone who calls himself a "Thinker" could come up with this sentence:

It is really a school to school thing. On one of my universities, members of a national tried to break away and start a local. They were told they would never be recognized by Greek Life, because of campus rules..and the campus did recognize both national and local chapters.

MC, I love it. I want to mock the "GreekThinker" because he calls himself a thinker yet, he doesn't know how to differentiate between your and you're. Seriously, why can't some people learn the difference? I especially find it annoying when a person is college-educated and doesn't know the difference.

That's the ONLY problem you found with that statement?

I love it when people use acronyms when they obviously have no idea what they mean. OMGWTFBBQFP

Yes, except in your case, where it means Left Out of Love.
