The general consensus may be positive in the Greek Community regarding new chapters, but trust me, the new chapters ALWAYS get crap for being new. Check out posts on that "other" website....there are a lot of posts that say new chapters take nothing but leftovers, aren't real chapters and numerous other, inaccurate statements. Individual Greeks often aren't as accepting as the general community. Maybe that is where the OP gets a feeling of some hostility on campus.

Yeah, and they will get on that until they win: intramurals, recognition from opposite sex greek system, and/or greek week. It sucks but that is how it is. We weren't a "real fraternity" until we won President's Cup, some sports and the Best Mixer Award from local PHC. Then we were "elitist snobs." You really can't win with some people.

My impression of Northeastern, when I was at BU (1999-2003), was that the Greek orgs there were overall a welcoming group. I don't know if that has changed in the last 5 years or so, but this experience seems against everything I've heard about the system.

i guess i shouldnt say hostility, but it's obvious that *some* of the other chapters feel we need to *earn our place.* but hey, we did well during homecoming so i guess we are *earning our place* :-)
