Additionally (You have met others with similar ranks). So you find out he work at you school and decide to pay a visit... Once in his office he ask " Why are you here?".. so you explain the reason for your visit and he give you the cold shoulder and replys "Have a nice day."... How should one take that response... I mean its not going to deter me from continuing toward my goal, but could this decision to visit this individual prevent or harm my chances of becoming a member?
Dude, firstly, you're not being discreet. It's pretty clear that you want to be an Omega.

Secondly, why would you visit someone's place of business unannounced, even if he works at your school? That's pretty rude, don't you think? (Unless he works at an information desk)

If you attended all the events and made sure you were seen, then they know you are interested in them.

Why haven't you made it a point to meet ALL the members of the chapter?
Have you asked the ones that you do know to introduce you to others?

Finally, while you don't know what the rules might be for interaction with aspiring members (him telling you to have a nice day might be all he's allowed to talk to you about) I dunno man.... that would have been a sign for me. You don't want to be perceived as a psycho stalker aspirant.
