"Why Did You Decide to Join ...That?"

What's a pancake? Does this have anything to do with Theta Phi Psi Fraternity (a BGLO founded in 2002 at Denny's) *lol*

dayum...can't even get an IHOP chapter?

I never went through rush.. I was simply recruited when Sigma Nu first came to our campus. I joined up a semester after they came on.

Why did I join? I don't think any fraternity in this state can boast more prominent members in business/government than Sigma Nu. Also, I guess it was a big deal to me that I could be a big part of starting something which was going to exist for a long time and touch many lives.

I was also philosophically against hazing -- something which at the time I would have rushed was featured in every other organization on campus.

That's different. When Sigma Nu was new to your campus, it's not like the organization was 20 years old. I don't think GLOs really question why someone would join a historical GLO, it's the new GLOs that we wonder about.

At the time, I had never really heard of Sigma Nu. It turns out that we have one of the best alumni groups of any national organization in our state. I suppose I just got lucky there. They didn't use the organization's history to recruit me and honestly, history wasn't a huge concern of mine. I was more interested in whether or not I'd have a positive experience.

I think that's basically what most kids are looking for. Sure, there are a few who are tuned in to the prestige and history of a good national organization, but most just want to have a good time.

I wish Sigma Nu had strong Alumni groups in California :-(
