Are you planning to disaffiliate from SigEp? Not that it matters, I am simply curious.

Just a word of caution - if you belong to more than one group, you might want to be careful of voicing comparisions of any policies, practicies, etc., both publically, or to members of either of your groups.

I left SigEp in August due to personal reason between myself and the chapter. Then me and some other guys got together and tossed around the idea of having a local fraternity on campus. Then that idea went into the idea of a service fraternity instead of a socail fraternity. Then into a co-ed service fraternty.

I deleted my orginal post after we decided to make it a co-ed service fraternity. B/c my question did not need answering. Due to different rules on chartering/being recognized.

And when i talked about SigEp recruitment. I mean nothing bad about it. It just that the rules are very relaxed and informal.

Ok, you left. If you disaffiliated, I would suggest removing the letters from your signature.

Anyway...When you spoke about rush, you said that you were taking some"good points" from what SigEp did, and then doing things differently. When you think about how you want your new org to run, try to avoid thinking of it in terms of how SigEp does or does not operate (especially of respect to the brotherhood who chose you and initiated you...you should keep stuff like that to your private discussions).

You want your group to be "Alpha Xi", not "differnet than SigEp".
It's like "running to" vs. "running from" something. Strive to create new/yours, not "instead of".

Funny thing, the first time I saw this, I thought it was the AXi chapter of SigEp and that he was a founder.

Anyway, I was wondering if you were the same dude who won DZ's BMOC, or is there someone else with your name at another MO school?

EXACTLY what I thought the first time I saw him post. Why on earth would someone continue to identify himself with an organization he parted ways with? Very confusing.

If I read your additional info correctly, you are at UMKC.
What do you expect the similarities and differences will be between Alpha Xi and Alpha Phi Omega?
