Well, this post will be bitching, and since I know INT members read this board, you can tell Kipp that it was the big guy Matt from this weekend...

We had our ELC visit this week and it was going great. We also had Kipp come down to congratulate us on a great rush, since he was in town looking at Orlando locations for the next GA. We had an AM arrested stealing a wheelchair last week. We told Kipp about this and said we were taking corrective action and were very honest with him. This of course turned into a conversation about how we had "hazing problems" as well as separation issues. While I admit we are not perfect and are working on fixing some issues we have, we are saints on the UF campus as well as darn good for an SEC chapter in regards to fraternity education and have been making vast improvments in other areas.

We asked Kipp if he believed that most of the other chapters in the South as well as Grand High Alpha chapters were not hazing and did not have SERIOUS issues. We never really got a straight answer out of him, which is not supprising, but do they really think that Oklahoma is an anomoly? I know from experience that some of the other chapters in Florida haze their pledges, and I say pledges because that is what they are there, not AMs. I guess I just wonder why when we are making great improvements both locally and with international HQ we are being made out as flawed.

We are making the changes we need to, but I just wish INT HQ was not so disconected from the real world of chapters, as Oklahoma and LSU has proven that they are...
