Yeah, I mean, in the south, I think when you're away from your school you have loyalty with other chapters on your planet. Lets say my chapter and a rival fraternity on our campus were somewhere up north...we'd probably end up hanging around with the other Auburn guys as opposed to our chapter at the northern school. Its just different. In other parts of the country, they really feel like they are brothers with anyone who wears their letters. While I would help our brothers out, etc., if they don't share our background or ideals, I really don't have any special desire to hang out with them. We actually got a call from a regional director one time because we were at another school, and weren't hanging out with our chapter there. Some of the brothers from our fraternity had seen us hanging out at the KA house there, and got pissed and told the director about it. Its just awkward when we're at convention and some guys come up and are like, hey we're having a keg party at ______, and we're like, nah, us ole miss and UGA are gonna go to the bar...

Exactly. I got the "honor" of going to a convention. The chapters everywhere else think that just because we share the same ritual makes us brothers/friends. I'll give them respect for going greek however, they do not deserve or are worth my friendship. We only hang out with the other good southern chapters. I don't know, I guess I just hate getting their gel all over my palm when I shake their hand, I'm not sure.

For sure, brothers in Omega. Delta is for a bunch of losers.

Anyways, I'm in neither KA nor SAE which means I see alot more irreverent jokes for brothers than they do. I'm pretty sure the Sigma Chi's at my school would never even speak to you. In fact, I know they refuse to associate themselves with anybody other than SEC and Big 12 - Texas Chapters.

Thumbs down

Hm, sounds like some people have their heads either in the sand or up their----!

There really is a big world and country beyond the SEC States. So why dont You try it?

I am afraid if Your Brothers at Your convention found out about your feelings, it would be a lonely meeting for you.

If you really do go to college and really are in a Greek Organization, you sure sound idiotic.
