fraternity disconnect

[Gusteau]

Ultimately a fraternity is no more than its members, so things like reputation and values can change rapidly. In my experience, the "not fraternity type" fraternity cannot remain that way as they get larger and begin to appeal to and recruit a broader range of men. A disconnect is understandable and I've seen many older members become jaded by it. Try to remember why you joined and the reasons you value your fraternity membership; seek out those commonalities in older brothers and encourage them in newer ones.

Quitting will often prevent you from becoming an active alumnus (check your fraternity's policy) and that would be the real shame in the situation. It's shortsighted to leave something now when it could discount you the rewarding experience of being an an active alumnus which may be just what you're looking for to reconnect with why you love your fraternity.

P.S. - Vito, what does I/HQ have to no with anything?

I'm guessing he's thinking of chapter consultants, who in Sig Ep are, I think, called regional directors (or RDs).

Yeah that's exactly what I'm thinking of. Psi Upsilon doesn't really have traveling consultants, so when we need advise that our alum can't give we normally have to call the director of chapter services.
