Transferring from a small college to a state school. Am I still considered a brother?

I'm all for volunteer work and such during the school year and other activities associated with the fraternity, but I don't understand what I have to prove. I went through the same process as every other FIJI and became a brother. What do I have to prove?

Honestly, I'll be insulted if they reject me, because that's not what FIJI is about.

Jackhole, it's not about proving, it's about getting to know brothers who are doing the same thing in a more relaxed atmosphere before the craziness of rush starts up. If you weren't so busy having a giant chip on your shoulder you would know that.

OK, maybe you're right. FIJI should totally revise their policies and allow any brother to reaffiliate anywhere. So let's say they do that. Fine. There is NOTHING they can write down that says the members of your new chapter have to like you, hang out with you outside required events, elect you to office, or live with you. I can't imagine anything more fun than spending the remainder of your college career as "the guy nationals forced on us."

Leave your rotten attitude at the door, contact some of the brothers over the summer via facebook and see if anything is happening where you could make some face to face connections, and hopefully things will work out fine. But they won't work out fine if you keep bellowing "I'm a BROTHER and you should HAVE to make me part of your chapter." I'm hoping this is just you venting and getting your worries out so you can act a little less like a snot-nosed brat when dealing with actual humans.

I know this is probably a typo but I would love it if AEPhi really did have something called an "owl chapter."
