Interesting Perspective
I read this on the website of a fraternity. It was interesting to say the least of how they view Greek Life or rather, the males in our Greek system. I have X'd out the name of the group but I will say it's NOT an IFC fraternity.
From our first establishment in Long Beach, they brought together strong and independent gentlemen to challenge the notions of a contradictory Greek system that claimed progress. They saw a system that preyed on insecurities, and actually reinforced weaknesses in pledges through alcoholic dependency and humiliation.
These are not leaders. These are sheep of a system relegated to age-old traditions that cannot adapt to the current dynamics of the future generation. XXXXXXXXX lives by principles such as character, strength, and heart.
This message caught on quickly in Long Beach to create the Distinguished Gentlemen that the community knows of XXXXXXXXXX today. In less than two years, the family grew to over one hundred brothers at Long Beach. It now exists as the largest fraternity at that school."
I am not sure about this b/c I really don't think that they are the biggest frat on campus. Maybe the biggest multi-cultural one but not the biggest one of all the frats on campus.
It's kinda insulting to refer to the gentlemen of our frats this way & it's insulting to the Greek system in general with the references to hazing.
