A question for the guys....

Okay fellas...I have always wanted to know the answer to this question...it's just taken me a while to figure out how to word it! If this offends anyone, I'm sorry....It certainly wasn't meant to.

When your fraternity holds a party, does it piss you off when members of another fraternity show up? I mean, let's say that you are a member of XYZ and a few guys from ABC show up in letter shirts. Does this anger you? Or are you happy to show them some love and let them join in your fun?

This is the reason I ask...several times I have been at a fraternity party and met a nice young man. I ask him "How long have you been a Kappa Lambda Nu?" (note...fictional fraternity). Then he replies "Oh I a Mu Tau Pi, not a Kappa Lambda Nu." Then I ask "Why are you here?" Then I get the response "I dunno". It just seems, well, weird to me. Why would you want to attend another party thrown by another fraternity? Now I'm not saying that this isn't a good thing...it's nice to see guys get along. What I'm saying is that I feel like parties are kinda a way to bond with your brothers. Plus, one time, very long ago, I was attending a fraternity party and I was forced into a room by a young man. Fortunatly, I was sober and I got away without any problems. However, when I reported it to security, the brothers of this particular fraternity didn't know who I was talking about. The guy I identified was not a member of the XYZ fraternity....

Anyways, sorry this is so long, I was just curious!
