Opinion on situation

After I left I did not speak to the brothers much, only a frequent hi and bye. I still attended fraternity events. In SPR 13 I become more involved. I really thought I was going to get the bid to pledge this semester. I did not get the bid. I was looking forward to it, I feel stupid for dropping out the first time. Since I didn't get the bid the second time around, I began looking at other NALFO Organizations. I came across another one and been in contact with the expansion personnel. I am gathering men and hopefully establish an interest group next semester. Unfortunately I will be graduating in May. My question is, does it look bad that I am looking to join another organization after I get denied from one? Does it seemed like Im just after letters?


P.S. The fraternity I got the bid the first time is the largest on campus. Other NALFO organizations died, therefore there are not many options.

To be honest? Yes, it kind of looks bad. But you are a grown man, so if you feel like you can deal with the consequences, go for it.

Aside from that, another big question I would have is whether organization #2 has grad chapter intake/alumni initiation. If you graduate before the colony gets off the ground and you still have zeal for the organization (and are otherwise qualified) it would be good to know what your options were.

Sorry it didn't work out with the first org. I sincerely hope that you have done your research into org #2 and aren't bringing them to campus just to spite org #1.
