We don't have Greek houses, but students can apply in groups to try and get a house owned by the college. This is how the Greek groups on campus try to get a house. I happen to have a house with a large basement, and this is why the Fraternity uses it for just about everything
I didn't like how some of the actives were jerks to me during the pledging process, so I made a promise to myself that I would never be mean to a pledge. I always told them where I was, I was always kind to them, and I did in fact help a number of them out on occasion with their homework and Fraternity lesson studying. This semester, I heard that the pledges held me in really high regard, especially my little brother, and that made me incredibly happy to learn of. Thus, I do not think they didn't pick me because my attitude wasn't in the right place.
Now that it has passed by more, it still hurts to think about what happened. What's in the past though is now in the past, and I can't change what has happened. I'll still continue to be nice to pledges and do everything I can to make sure they have a smooth education experience. Given that said, due to how popularity in most cases severely swayed the vote, I am now highly discouraged from giving it my all in my Fraternity, mainly because popularity would win out over hard work, good goals, and qualifications. I do know there are places where these things pay off, such as the professional business environment I'm going into, but my Fraternity is not one of those places at this moment.
