LaneSig- " I automatically think, "You just want to wear letters."
Yes, this is exactly how I don't want them to feel because its not true but I'm not sure there is any possible way to show them that it isn't. (I would probably feel the same way if I were in their shoes). So are you pretty much saying that I should just forget about it and move on from the Greek system. Its just hard for me to do because I've always wanted to be involved in a fraternity especially during undergraduate years since before college which I wont have the opportunity to do if I don't join another fraternity. Don't get me wrong I want to be involved after I graduate to which is making my situation even more difficult. But at the same time I feel like I'm "double dipping" if I join a new fraternity, which may hurt my reputation.
Also currently at UNC Chapel Hill we have about 8 or 9 unestablished fraternities already so it's not really an ideal atmosphere for a new fraternity. On top of all that most perspective students that actually want to join a fraternity, want to join a "Legit" fraternity that has a prestigious past reputation instead of looking for a fraternity that fits them best.
Pledge details: I completed pledging, went through ritual but I believe that I am either registered with HQ as an early alumni or I was dropped.
Gusteau - I definitely want to be like that man you speak of in your post but realistically speaking at my current university it isn't possible before my graduation but I could help as an alumnus though which would be helpful to my current fraternity.
