IS THIS WRONG!

querho3 · #1 12-09-2010, 06:39 PM

IM PART OF A LOCAL FRATERNITY AT A SMALL SCHOOL FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS. RECENTLY I STARTED TO HAVE DOUBT ABOUT THIS ORGANIZATION AND SHARED IT WITH MY BROTHERS AT A CHAPTER MEETING ADN SURPISINGLY THEY HAD DOUBT ALSO. THE ORG HAS BEEN THROUGH INCREDIBLE UPS AND DOWN IN 21 YEARS WHEN I FIRST PLDEGED MY WHOLE LINE HAD NO IDEA WHAT A FRAT WAS WE WERE JUST DRINKING WITH THESE PPL ALL THE TIME AND THOUGHT THEY WERE COOL SO WE WANTED TO JOIN. DURING OUR PROCESS WHICH ONLY LASTED THREE WEEKS IT WAS BREEZE. WE DIDNT REALLY LEARN ANYTHING BUT HISTORY OF PRESIDENTS AND WE DID CALESTHINICS AND HAD SCAVENGER HUNTS. ON THE LAST NIGHT WE GOT PADDLED FOR THE FIRST TIME LIKE 9 TIMES A PIECE. AFTER JOINING WE LEARNED THAT IT WAS ALL FUN BEING YOUNG FRESHMAN DRINKING ALL THE TIME AND HANGING OUT. AFTER ABOUT A YEAR OF HOLDING MEETINGS WHERE PPL WOULD COME DRUNK OUT THRE MIND EVEN THROW UP THERE I STARTED TO THINK HOW COULD WE MAKE THIS BETTER. WE TRIED TO KEEP MEETINGS AS PROFESSIONAL AS POSSIBLE. AS THE YEARS WENT ON WE TRIED ALOT OF NEW THINGS TO MAKE THE ORGANZATION LEGIT WE STEPPED DID COMMUNITY SERVICE FINALLY GOT GOOD RAPPORT WITH OUR SCHOOL. MANY OF OUR ALUMNI MMEBERS WERE MAD BY THIS AND FELT WE DIDNT NEED TO DO COM SERVICE AND WOULD JUST ASK "WHERES THE BEER AT". THEN WE WANTED TO BECOME MULTICULTURAL TO ENCOURAGE DIVERSITY AND THEY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THAT. TURNS OUT SINCE IT STARTED AN ALL WHITE FRATERNITY THE ORIGINAL INTENTION WAS TO KEEP IT THAT WAY. AFTER THESES INSTACNES WE THEN DID RESEARCH ON MANY OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND HOW THEY BECAME SUCCESSFUL AND WE LEARNED SO MUCH WE LACKED. WE ONLY HAVE ONE CHAPTER IN 21YEARS THEY WOULD NEVER TEACH US THE FOUNDERS WE HAD NO REAL PURPOSE. RECENTLY WE HAVE TRIED TO GAIN MUCH ALUMNI SUPPORT BUT THEIR MINDSET IS ONCE THEY GRADUATE THEY MUST LIVE THEIR OWN LIVES AND LET THE UNDERGRADS HANDLE EVERYTHING. WE HAVE NOT GOT 1 DONATION FROM ALUMNI IN MY YEARS BEING THE LAST FOUR AND IT GETS HARDER AND HARDER TO RECRUIT. ALL THIS BEING SAID WERE THINKIN OF DISBANDING THE FRAT AND START FROM SCRATCH WITH A CLUB THAT WOULD BENEFIT ALL MEN AT OUR INSTITUTE MINUS THE PLEDGE PROCESS...HOW DOES THIS SOUND?

I hope he knows that, because I hope he copied that first post and pasted it here rather than doing a whole new long post in ALLCAPS and with no paragraph breaks after being told how impossible it is to read.

BTW, querho3 (really?), regarding the title of this post: You have phrased the title as a question. A question mark looks like this: ?, not like this: !.

How does this sound? Like a guy who is railing against the evils of drinking while wasted out of his mind.

I literally glanced at this message but read nothing.

Have you ever considered that writing in all caps gives readers a headache, takes up unnecessary space, and can perceived as yelling? Eek. Please write it out in lower case letters and I'll be glad to listen.
