while i was not the best big in the world, i was far from being the worst this fraternity has seen. i even spoke with my (former) little tonight, and he told me he had no problems with me at all, besides the fact that we didn't hang out much, and hoped i wouldn't hate him for something he didn't choose for himself.

we had our weekly meeting tonight when the news was brought to the entire chapter. keep in mind the current pledge master is our president's little, who coincidentally, received another little this semester when many others were in need of their first. our vice president on council also lives with those two guys.

the whole situation was indeed absurd because most of my brothers were made uncomfortable at the meeting when they voiced their opinions, most of which were against their decision. the rationale behind their decision for the most part was that the pledgemaster has entire authority in this situation and had council's approval. That covers 5 members of our fraternity, but not the overwhelming majority of the other brothers.

this decision was the first of its kind in our chapter history. i truly believe that this decision was made so that the pledge master could make his mark on the fraternity before he graduated. almost no one was happy about it, and they were attacked on a personal level when they tried to make a point. a new council and chapter positions will be elected in a month, and most of the brothers just told me to wait it out. there's nothing else i can do at this point. i don't think it's worth bitching about at this point, but that doesn't make it right.

in this situation i believe it should have at least been brought to some chapter vote or something of that nature. i don't believe justice has been served, and i believe i have just been made an example of by the most irrational self-serving council in recent history.

put yourself in my shoes... what are you supposed to do or think at this point?
