a fraternity for veterans?

But like Legacy said, "...guys my age can't relate to the WW2 generation. They were such a great generation. I'm sure talking to guys that were raised on x-box and internet porn wouldn;t be the highlite of their day. Just a thought..."

But there are religious, service, ethnic, and even sexual orientation based fraternities. I don't see the problem with a military fraternity.

And it's not like he's suffering from founderitis like so many other people who post.

I think that one of the NIC fraternities was originally founded by all WWII vets, but over the years broadened its focus. Or it would have croaked.

This seems like a good idea NOW since there are a lot of college age vets, but God willing, hopefully that will no longer be the case soon. I know it's easier for fraternities to have a narrower focus than sororities, but if it's something that depends on what is happening in current culture - like combat vets coming home - rather than what someone IS, it's going to fall on hard times as soon as that circumstance no longer exists.

I definitely don't think this is a founderitis situation. The difference between the types of organizations you mentioned and this is the longevity of the need he wants to fill (like 33girl said).

I can understand that he wants this to be university based, making the VFW less than ideal, but I don't see why it just can't be a "Young Veterans Club" on campus. At most universities it only takes a few students and maybe a faculty adviser to start a recognized student organization. I just don't see why this group needs to take Greek letters and be a fraternity.
