Kicked Out of My Fraternity. Did They do Something Wrong?

[MariettaPhiMA]

___Setting everything straight___

1. I am a Sinfonian, I started a local and the school blocked it, I joined another fraternity. It's not that difficult to understand. It may be an unusual greek story but it is what happened.

2. They knew I was a Sinfonian. There is a loophole which allows me to join another fraternity.

3. Getting kicked out for no reason is exactly why I am upset. I posted here to see if this was a normal occurrence or as outrageous as I perceive it.

4. I was not initiated into this latest fraternity. However, I cannot tell you my membership designation without revealing the name of the fraternity. The only restrictions are that I could not be president and I could not participate in my own ritual.

5. My lack of attendance at the meetings was pre-approved. We're so small that we don't have many meetings anyway.

6. Getting a job was not a choice. It's my means for survival. Grow up, get in the real world and you will understand this. Also, the job never interfered with meetings.

My sentiments exactly. This kid is not unique. There are hundreds of thousands of kids who had zero problems getting jobs which didn't interfere with their fraternity.

As far as that membership restriction, to anyone who is not in that org, we don't know the level of process you're entitled to. My suspicion is that it's zero.

As far as you being kicked out, I don't think it's outrageous at all. It's a predictable response to someone who clearly doesn't give two shits about his fraternity.

Kevin, what is your deal? How can you say I don't give two shits about it? They gave me a bid to be the "new face of" XXX fraternity. I wouldn't be upset about it if I didn't care would I?

And again about the job thing- Do you still not understand that the job did not interfere?

Good job on contradicting yourself. Oh and the person you told to grow up and get in the real world is a Lawyer.

So what if he's a lawyer? He's not being rational.


I didn't contradict myself. There has been only one required meeting. Therefore I met my obligations. The only other event we had was video games which I was excused from. We had to close our campus due to a food poisoning outbreak so we haven't had many events.
