I think it's great. If "Blue" is happy and the chapter is happy, then that's all that matters.

Cool

Now, would the ? be for some Media event people to come in and tell this as a Human Intrest Story be a + for Greeks?

It was a two fold street, They Helped Him, and Guess What , He helped Then! Kind of Like a House Dad! Wiser but down on Luck!

They helped each other!

I ain't mad at him!

I say to the 60 year old pledge:
YOU GO BOY!
Hell I wish I had half the courage he did. I admire him.
This coming from a person with a stiletto heel wearing 85 year old grandma!

You know the stereotype 18 year olds should party etc, 30 year olds should be settling down, 50/60 year olds should retire and play grandparents. But when you think about it don't you know some 18 years that have already settled down and see on the right track, 30 year olds that party, and some 50/60 year olds still raising young teens. In this day and time age doesn't matter as much as it may have played a part in society before.

that's my two cents.

I read this article and I am happy for him...

I also got a little miffed over women who get cut for being juniors, sophs, etc....

This man is 60, a junior, and still considered a viable member, and he is...

I don't get the whole cutting a woman based on her year in school...

Good for you, "Blue"...

I wish sororities did the same!

I hate to think that a sorority wouldn't pledge a 60 year old woman

sigmagrrl -- fraternities do not work under a quota/total system. This particular chapter was very low in numbers. A sorority has to look at their membership pyramid - more freshmen, fewer sophomores, even fewer junior and the lowest number of seniors or they will find themselves in numbers trouble. In addition, some groups have an age limit. The sorority chapter I used to advise once pledged a 35 year old married woman from Turkey. She had gone back to college and her husband (a Lambda Chi) wanted her to experience every aspect of college life. She was only there for a year before she graduated but she was a real asset to the chapter. If this chapter had been at total, they could not have afforded to do that. I understand what you are saying but, unfortunately, we have to look at things such as that.
