We had a lot of ladies who were instrumental in our colonization efforts. Otherwise, many folks here have had a lot of opportunity to gain a great deal of valuable knowledge through firsthand experience and through participation in this forum.

A lot of the advice they've given you is spot on.
I think that this is what bothers me the most - he is completely dismissing the advice from women, saying that they know nothing about fraternities.. When he isn't in one! Quite frankly, there could be some women here who know more than he does, but he's so quick to dismiss what they say simply because they can't join one.

What he fails to realize is that while fraternities and sororities are very different, there are also many similarities, and there's a lot of advice that can overlap and apply to both.
