Biggest Rush Mistakes at any institution

For a lot of us, the chapter IS the group for all practical purposes when you're an undergrad.

Good. Our chapters are special to us, too, but Delta did not begin and does not end with my chapter.

That's obvious and I already said that.

Are you just trying to "defend" sasquatch or something? You were typing to sasquatch about this stuff and all of a sudden you're acting like feeling your chapter is the end-all and be-all is the norm.

Not really, I'm just trying to keep from blowing all the claims out of proportion. It's odd to me, as I noted to him, that groups who feel this way don't break off, but that doesn't mean we need to give a bunch of lectures about how undergraduate guys ought to feel about their national groups.

I think it's very different to be an an undergrad active member and to be an alum. And whether it's desirable or not, from the undergraduate perspective for NPC and IFC groups, the chapter matters a lot.

ETA: again, for most of us we regard ourselves as members of national or international groups and take a lot of pride in the organization and our sisters and brothers from other chapters.

Don't bother. If you want to be the only one typing to him and to control the convo, PM him.

Yes, it's supposed to be different.

Againnnnnn, the chapter matters a lot to us too.

Yeah so stick to that "norm" and let sasquatch and others be the ones to explain their approach if they so choose.

But when you force them on to the defensive, they're less likely to explain; they just try to justify.

Whichever they try to do, they are old enough to do that on their own.

This thread has taken many turns from the OT to race to jeans and now this, which he brought up knowing it would spark discussion. Go away.

Did you just interrupt a conversation and then tell me to go away?

There's no interrupting a convo in a thread.

And yes I told you to go away.
