When the novelty wears off...
I've been a member of my fraternity for two years now. I enjoyed pledging (surprisingly) and had a good time my second semester. But now the novelty is wearing off, and all the stupid stuff during chapter is really wearing on me.
I'm down south, where tiers rule the greek systems. We have always been a very strong house, but this semester, we've broken into the top of the top and pushed out another chapter.
Since the last couple semesters- we've been teetering on the edge and struggling to break down the tradition- it seems that many of my brothers have the same thought processes as sorority girls. During rush, about our social schedule, about brothers' girlfriends. It's disgusting and embarassing. Seriously, we were turning away rushees based on looks and clothing. Some of my favorites were shunned for visiting lower tiered chapters. Everyone seems to think that we're such badasses, and even though we are (sorry), I don't appreciate that attitude. Out of control is the only phrase that comes to mind.
I usually don't enjoy any sort of emotional discussion, but this is really serious to me. Has anyone ever experienced something similar? Sometimes I just feel like my goals are different from the vast majority of my chapter now. Any thoughts?
Also, I know how crazy some of you GreekChatters are, so I'll just fess up and say, 'yes', this is a sockpuppet name, and 'no', I will not tell any of you who I am.
