I can use google, too.

Oh - there is a difference between "their", "there", and "they're". Usually I have to be paid to edit, but for you - free!

Hey I am well aware of that incident. That shit is tragic as hell. I hope the SAMs at that chapter get prison for life for disgracing it's good name. Since my chapter isn't stupid enough to do that shit and we look out for each other.

But hey w/e I'm going to be the courteous and kind SAM that I am and leave this topic be. Let the haters be mad at Sammy greatness. I really don't care. Maybe you should have spent your time making your organizations great and if they are, you should just enjoy it and let me enjoy my greatness. Im sure every fraternity out there can produce what my chapter produces and does so on at a daily basis. Awesome. Go greek. Stop being sore at me for not liking fucked up chapters in an organization. Everyone has them. Even SAM has them, oh well.

I just feel sorry that you can't be as proud of w/e org you got. Maybe one day you can stop caring about what everyone else says and does and maybe make great things come true yourself. Peace out, fast and firm 4 life!

The possesive form of "it" is "its", not "it's". Perhaps you should look into taking some English classes.

If I were a SAM, I'd be embarassed to call you brother. The funniest thing is you feel that you are representing your GLO well. No one here cares what your opinion is - they have just called out for being an ignorant, self-important hypocrite. We all are secure enough in our GLOs that we don't have to indulge in chest-thumping attacks on other GLOs.

If you really were as proud of SAM as you say you are, you wouldn't feel the need to bash other groups in some lame attempt at self-gratification. (insert Beavis and Butthead laugh here).

Oh, and I predict his "flounce" doesn't last. But a girl can dream.

The college I go to Sigma Alpha Mu is the best. We do the most on campus, we have some of the most quality guys, I wouldn't ever pick another fraternity if given another chance. I think some of the best experiences in college happened with them and I wouldn't ever take anything back.

There is TKE, Sigma Chi, KA, SAE and even at some point Kappa Sig. Kappa Sig's colony died. SAE doesn't compare to our chapter. TKE is good, they are great guys but the involvement we have with campus and the way we do things has been proven to be better.

Sigma Chi is brand new, they are doing good but in no way are they the same type of men as SAMS. The things they do don't develop character nor prove you fufill being a true man like a SAM. Maybe at other colleges its different. I dunno, I personally don't care because im not a Sigma Chi.

Pretty much every fraternity is good in specific colleges. PIKE is amazing I heard at FIU. PIKE got kicked out of UCF, potentially UF and even UWF. I think the award to the most hazing incidents ever was SAE. If you count the number they had it's probably the most. Either way, it happens. You have bad organizations, you have good.

Yes, you bashed other groups. Don't try to deny it or cover it up.. oh, wait, you already did that...

That's not what I'm trying to say which again many are failing to miss the point. SAEs are basically our rivals since they crush us in greek week. Sigma Chi is very uprising and has big numbers which is good. These are facts that I am saying. Just because I said that SAM is the most involved on my campus doesn't mean the other organizations on my campus are bad nor does it mean that nobody else is good.

I think your "facts" from the first and second statements are completely different. But you were probably just trying to cover your ass. Understandable.

What??

Your acting as I shouldn't have any right to say Sigma Alpha Mu is a great organization and the chapter I was in knew how to run things correctly.

My chapter works hard to be a good fraternity and produces results. Are you jealous because yours doesn't? I just don't understand why your acting all offended that my organization just happens to be the most dominant at my college. You don't see me getting mad if your organization was the best at your college.

Ugh. I have a headache. And I don't think I want to hear the word "great" ever again.

And ok fair enough but still many go for Sigma Chi just because of the name and the alumni. When I rushed at my college, I rushed Sigma Chi because of the name. I didn't go with them in the end since I felt as I connected better with SAM.

Do you have something against Sigma Chi? And just because you rushed them for superficial reasons, it doesn't mean that everyone else did so, too.

Seriously, I don't think you use the word "great" enough.

I am a member of AST, one of the smallest NPC sororities. Here's how I could have approached the same topic and effectively made my point...

Even though AST is one of the smallest sororities nationally, it is an amazing organization. My chapter alone puts in countless hours of community service, and our members take part in numerous activities in addition to our studies. Speaking of which, we have a very high GPA, and we pride ourselves on the fact that we won the award at Convention for having the highest GPA out of all of the AST chapters! Even though AST isn't the largest sorority, it is definitely the best sorority for me.

And here's the statement I would make if I wished to have people here on Greekchat get mad at me, like they did with you...

AST is the best sorority on my campus. Everyone likes us... the guys, the professors... we are GREAT! The ASA's are ok, but they just don't live up to great ideals and values like we do. And the TPAs are close to getting kicked off campus because their not-so-great ritual is killing members! I know that other AST chapters aren't that great, but that's ok, because mine is the best, and being the best here is all I need! Because we're great.

Seeing the difference? I hope so. Oh, and take note of the GREAT spelling and grammar of all of the posters here. People might take you a little more seriously if you sound somewhat intelligent.

... is not true, or how I truly feel about these organizations. I have friends in both, and they are both amazing. This was made up simply to prove a point. ASAs clearly live up to great ideals and values, and obviously TPA isn't killing members will their ritual. If they were, I don't think they would exist. Sorry if anyone was confused by this...

Which, I think, is a good illustration of why people should be very careful in what they post about other orgs. Even if you're basing your statements on what happens at your campus, saying "XYZ org is _______" is usually an easy way to upset members of that org.

When in doubt, keep it out (of your post).

Unless, of course, you actually use "XYZ" (which perhaps ASTalumna06 should have done instead of using real names, even in a "don't do this" example).

Yes, which I completely understand. I thought it was clear that I made it up, but oh well. Live and learn. I think it's the inordinate number of "special" people on Greekchat lately... They're throwing things off. And making me so angry I can't think straight.

It was clear to me. Some folks just get too lazy to read.
