Not to say you're wrong, just to point out that the group you were in may have had another "layer" of things happening that others may have not.

We did not pursue national affiliation until almost a year after I initiated, and we did not colonize until two years after I initiated. I am not sure that going national had anything to do with the lack of unity, as it really was not something the founders had ever really planned on doing--I really do, sincerely, attribute it to the way my class, which was the alpha class of this organization, was treated. To get back to the initiatl question--we were hazed, and we were not unified nor did we TRULY respect one another.
