As to making "generalizations " - um, no. My point was that there are men who are looking for more than the superficial when they go through rush. I never attacked any single fraternity, or any specific campus, although you would think I had by the virulent responses. I discussed a very specific situation where successful college students felt the fraternities at that time were not focused on the brotherhood they sought. I argued that you shouldn't assume all PNMs were not also looking beyond sports trophies and number of parties, or the type of thing that you can subjectively measure. I know that when my brother went through rush he was looking for a group of men with whom he could share brotherhood - the type he had known in the Marines. He made up his own mind, not based on what the "top" houses were, but on where he felt that connection.
And when I said I would not say all men were stupid, but feel free to argue the point - I'm really surprised someone took me up on it! So, okay, you've convinced me.
And nowhere did I say that any poster here did not have brotherhood. Some of you need to re-read my post before assuming I was attacking you.
Apparently I was wrong, so I apologize.I bow to the superior understanding of those who have previously posted. My understanding of what fraternities are all about was obviously way off base.
Find out which house has the best record in competitions, craziest parties, best mixers, and wildest formals. Good luck.

I never said anything about "all" rushees thinking that way....I made a very valid assumption about the majority of guys that go through rush.
