I guess, I am just going to cut ties with the chapter, I do love my fraternity and chapter but I won't allow anyone to say I had a hand in where it is going.
No. Every chapter has many different types of people, and I believe that the Greek experience is valuable for all types of people. I do not consider myself the stereotypical fraternity guy, and though my chapter has changed in some ways since I joined, I still value my membership and the bond I have with my brothers. Furthermore, you can't take a backseat in chapter operations and complain about how things are going. Be the change you wish to see (thanks Gandhi). You are part of a inter/national organization that is much larger than your chapter. Take your love for your organization (something you proclaim, but do not seem to display, by the way) and translate it into action.
