Recruiting Another Fraternity's Pledge

I'd say take them, but make sure your chapter can stand up to the backlash that comes with that. If you guys can't its a no go

Does the OP seem to be interested in "Nick" for a little more than a brother?

I really felt like I was reading something written by a girl about this guy she was crushing on. I dunno - that's the vibe I got, because guys just usually aren't that "into" their rushees.

I also agree. Most guys would just let it go.

Eh, I think that's a little unfair. I've seen similar posts from girls about rush crushes. I think he's convinced himself how great of guys they are and hasn't looked objectively at the situation.

Yeah most guys would let it go, but clearly he hasn't. I wouldn't read anything more into it than rush crush.

Herein lies the distinction.

Also, that's assuming this poster is for realz to begin with, which I'm not ready to do yet.

Eh, I guess we just see this from a different perspective. I think it's kind of an unfair double standard. I've seen worse from girls here and it was viewed as absolutely fine, but if it's a guy it has hints of some homo-erotic lust?

I mean, I definitely agree it's bordering on obsession with the OP. I just don't think it's any different than a girl obsessing over her rush crush.

Then again I'm a guy and never experienced any kind of rush crushing, so what do I know?

^This. Guys have switched from one fraternity to another as pledges on my campus, usually after being dropped and it doesn't cause that much drama, but I can very easily see how it could on some campuses. If it's worth it to your chapter to possibly receive some bad publicity from the other chapters on campus, do it. If not, don't.
