Then there's Wesley Pipes....smooth, suave, sophisticated Wesley Pipes.
They, quite honestly, ran the yard at St. Wilona's. Even though I NEVER was attracted to Wesley Pipes, I still thought it was important to do my research and verbalize not only WHY Brian Pumper, but why NOT Wesley Pipes.
Did their history speak to me? Nah....I went to their website and nothing moved me about their founding and the subsequent decades.
Did I identify with their prominent and more historical members? Again...no. Not at all. I either wasn't familiar with their prominent members in the first place, or if there was a particular prominent member I knew, there was ALWAYS a Brian Pumper who overshadowed him in that particular field of endeavor.
Did my values line up with their national programs? Well.... what national programs? True, they're supposed to "do stuff" but information on national and chapter websites was sooooo vague, that I wasn't convinced that this fraternity had anything to do with the community at all. Perhaps it was just a public relations issue....
And finally, did I feel comfortable with a room full of them? While some of them on my campus were nice..... nahhhhh, I really didn't look up to them as mentors or have any sort of kinship there.
Overall, I felt LEAST impressed with Wesley Pipes on all levels. It is an opinion that has stuck with me over the years.
