I don't want to sound like I'm giving up on my GLO. I've just exhausted many options and have become very disappointed as a whole. It just never worked out for me and did not fit my values as I thought it would. ( Need advice and thoughts about the subject.)

NoMotiv - I definitely agree with what everyone else has said - give the chapter at your new school a try, it could be like night and day!! That doesn't mean one chapter was "bad" and one was "good", just that one is a better fit for you.
As far as being disgusted with the national itself - reread your history, motto, creed and ritual. THAT is your fraternity, not the 8-12 national officers. Just because those people hold high office doesn't mean they are the keepers of the flame - they are humans and brothers, just like you. Like I said - reread the documents of your fraternity and decide whether that is something you want to be part of and fight for. If you feel that your fraternity has gotten away from the important things, be the one who sticks around and helps get it back to where it should be.
