To be clear, I never said we don't drink. Had I, it would have been a rather severe lie. Perhaps the people sharing "their experience" had a preordained view of the groups they so quickly found to be not for them and thus never really looked into the people they would be insulting for the next few years.

Also, why is it that you can be so offended by people making "generalizations" that they never actually made, but when I respond to a clear generalization about me and my brothers, I'm "getting my panties in a bunch?" Hipocracy is, in this case, an understatement.

Yeah yeah just turn the attack around on me.

It happens a lot on GC and you're by no means the first. You posting that your brothers did X Y and Z and that they're by no means white doesn't change the fact that what he saw was the partying. You feel the need to defend yourself when there really isn't one.

He posted a very good story about why he joined the fraternity he did. Why can't people accept that and move forward?

You know, you're right. We all should just allow someone to respond without criticism to doubt about their organization with a story about how fraternities are immoral because the RUSHEES he knew did not demonstrate the ideals of the fraternities they DID NOT belong to because the underlying insult is concurrent with yours. I showed evidence of his story not applying and you jumped on my ass. Are you capable of not following your blatent "do as I say, not as I do" mentality?

He never called anyone immoral. You're reading things into it that weren't there.

I don't like that people can't say "this wasn't for me" anymore with out people being offended. I'm sure your fraternity does tons of philanthropy and isn't all white. That doesn't change his story at all.
