I had many brothers I lived with that I disagred with on philosophical, cultural and religious issues. I still generally respected them, unless their opinions were so far out of tune with general american culture and accepted norms. (I can honestly only think of one in that sense and I just respect his right to be that different and wonder where his parents went wrong and keep my space from him... seriosuly, his views on an issue or two would disgust and offend many on this board, which just led me to believe that it was our fault that we rushed the kid. You rush 40 guys a year, your gonna have some loons that get through the cracks in the system. I am still glad for the exprericence tho, as I learned how to handle the most difficult people from it.)
Other than fool boy, I really liked that many of my brothers didnt share the same world-view as I did. It opened a whole new world to me and I didnt want to be in a chapter that was full of cookie-cutter members. I joined my chapter becasue I was an individual, not in spite of it. I learned more from those members than I did many of my classes.
One of my good friends itn eh chapter was a different political affiliation than I am and we both used every opportunity to take a friendly jab at each other, especially during chapter meetings. Love the kid tho with all my soul.
