Hey Tray.
I don't necessarily see anything wrong with it when you look at it from the point of having similar programs, goals, etc. Why not pool resources? I was speaking to the point of "forcing" something that wasn't there. Coming from the view of a member of an organization whose applicants have to have sophomore standing to be considered and from a person who is cynical anyway
, I'd be wary of someone coming to me from another council, who I had no prior relationship with (or in another case, if they had class with me but never parted their lips to say hi), wanting to do something "just because" i'm now greek too. but that's just me.

Now that was really sad to me and that's another reason why I feel like councils should try to at least get to know each other better. |
Yes, that is sad, particularly on a majority campus where multiple councils are more likely to exist. If no one ever teaches "chi upsilon zeta is great, but we don't exist on this campus alone. here are the names and chapters of other orgs here and their philanthropy is...," then that's part of what can be expected. that, too, is about comfort level as well.
