Does being a sophomore or above matter when looking to join a fraternity?

In my opinion pledging to be loyal to your organization is a promise to be honored. I'm not going to like every Alpha Gam on the planet...heck I'm not even going to like every single Alpha Gam that goes through my chapter. But we all promised loyalty to Alpha Gamma Delta. Not just to our chapter, but to Alpha Gamma Delta and to each other...not everyone sees it the same way, but I wouldn't have joined and made promises just to have a social club...I take promises and loyalty seriously and I feel I have an obligation to my sisters, whether I like them or not, whether they are like me or not.

As for Greek unity, it's a valuable concept. It doesn't mean putting all your time and effort into someone else's organization, it just means cooperating, being nice, civil, and sometimes compromising for the greater good, which strengthens a school's Greek system and benefits everyone. It's really not that hard and it's very beneficial.
