Sorry I used google and found this thread. If it's not that important to you or if it makes you annoyed that I did so, just don't post. Don't be so immature about it.
Having pride in your organization doesn't mean Im bashing others. I love the TKEs, their like our brother fraternity at my school. I work with a KA and their tight too. That's not what I'm trying to say which again many are failing to miss the point. SAEs are basically our rivals since they crush us in greek week. Sigma Chi is very uprising and has big numbers which is good. These are facts that I am saying. Just because I said that SAM is the most involved on my campus (which is a fact, we have the most people out there doing stuff,1600-1700 community services hours in a year, 2 years in a row, yeah Im pretty sure that's involved) and just great guys trying to make college better for everything, doesn't mean I am putting you down. We made greatness, unlike some organizations that brag about being great and haven't done anything for their local community.
I think SAM is great because it knows how to do a fraternity. If you seen some other organizations (not mentioning which) from what I heard about their rituals and how they operate, it's not nearly as legit. Some fraternities out there literally try to kill you or basically take advantage of you. Some don't make their rituals have meaning and some just love to fuck around with you or actually attempt manslaughter. You can't blame me for liking an organization that I feel like I can actually trust.
And you shouldn't blame me for thinking that. The fact that people still die in fraternity incidents is sad as hell. When I saw my U of Maryland chapter just closed for alchohol poisoning I just thought wow they should go to hell for ruining our name. Since after being at my school, I would never think it's like that anywhere else.
But yeah, again it's called everyone chapter is completely different, a fact of life that some need to get over. No fraternity is globally identical and all the newer fraternities are just playing catchup to get their numbers big.

First off I would like to mention that the KA Society is by your definition legit in that it has 26 chapters and it is considered the first fraternity. Second just because somebody operates differently then you do doesn't mean they are a good organization. I would love to see where you see in an organizations rituals that allow the type of behavior you are condemning. And as for you making fun of new fraternities, SAM isn't even 100 years old yet.
