*Even if that is NOT why the new group started or why anyone in it joined, some people in existing fraternities will feel that way.
it was almost to seem as if he wanted to become a founding father of yet another fraternity..

Good point; a new colony, which needs firm commitment from its members even more so than an established chapter, is not going to bring on someone who has already abandoned one new fraternity.

I think is something that should not be taken lightly. People need to understand one thing. Being Greek isn't a game, isn't a club, isn't an organization. It's a fraternity, a brotherhood. You have one chance to get it right, if you don't get it right, then that's it. There are no second chances, if you mess it up, then it's not for you. Don't come here whining and bitching, I don't get along with the members, etc etc etc. Deactivate, cut your losses, move on.
