Regretting pledging a fraternity a little bit.

but you guys are correct, the way you present YOURSELF matters more then what fraternity you're part of. any sterotype that person put you in will disappear once you present yourself better.

I will stick with my chapter because they are the best bunch of guys i've ever met. It bothers me a bit that potential big and known party schools i'll visit has some not-very-social chapters but I'll manage.

you guys were a bit rough on me (probably because i sounded like a thick-headed dickwad) but totally right

Rough? That was nothing! So glad that you've seen the light.

We rarely change people's minds around here so the punishment might continue for a while. Stick around though. You'll eventually get a chance to bash the next newb along with us.

Wonderful!

Another way to look at it is that, in one of those "loser" chapters are pointing to your chapter as how they want to be.

Almost everyone that replied came from a "seasoned Greek" point of view.

This guy is only 4 weeks into his pledgeship, and I can see where his concern comes from. He thought Theta Chi was the best and was disappointed to find that all chapters are different.

But yeah, you don't pledge national fraternities, you pledge a chapter. And top tier on one campus could be bottom of the barrel in another school. It's like that with every organization.

Just stick to it. And like some people said, reputations change over time.
