fraternity disconnect

[Jeremy121588]

A few things about this situation: I have personally seen this scenario in my fraternity as well, there are always going to be cliques in a fraternity because we naturally just hang out with people we're attracted to. Not everyone in the fraternity has the same head on their shoulders and this is not a bad thing. Being in your position and obviously seeing that your worried about the direction your fraternity will end up, my best advice is to try to integrate the old brothers and the new members as much as possible by inviting them to hang out. When I was first initiated it took me a good semester to find where I fit in with my fraternity, because I was nervous and was always afraid what people really thought of me, this could be the case with your new guys.. Perhaps these older members have a mindset where the new guys should come talk to them because what do the old guys owe the new guys? This is a horrible mindset and just rips fraternities apart. Ultimately, if brothers are feeling detached from the fraternity and want to quit, this is at their own discretion. However, what I have to say to you is that fraternity is for life, you don't stop being a brother simply because you don't like the new guys, etc. Give the effort, and you will reap cohesion and a stronger brotherhood. As for the unsuccessful impeachment, perhaps a brother retreat to refocus on what is really important and where you guys want the fraternity to go. It sounds like chaos is running around and you need to stop it as soon as possible.
