First of all, thanks to all of you for reading through that ridiculousness. And even moreso, the information given here has been great. I think tha my largest problem so far has been that the administration here has MUCH more experience with other Greek systems than I do. My meeting with them last week....just we with all 4 of them (by the way, it's a little intimidating), they would refer to how other schools work, which I couldn't refute. At least now I have a little background, and that my efforts don't seem to be without merit.
I defintely understand the double-membership thing. I know many members of Phi Mu Alpha are also in other GLO's, though I think the environment here prevents that. We have the smae rush week as the other fraternities, and people choose which group they choose. We are essentially mutually exclusive, but only on the campus level (which I understand that some campuses do that as well). I just can't believe that the administration was so quick to act, with so little information.
I don't think the NIC thing should play nearly as large of a part of this as they've made it, so I'm goignt o try to play that card as hard as I can. Our SGA has basically condemned the administration for their activities at this point, the other 5 main greek orgs seems totaly behind me, and even teh VP of the college has voiced his support. I'm certainly hopeful
