And I think it's silly to join a chapter and try to change it. There is an entire period of formal and informal indoctrination which occurs after initiation that perpetuates a chapter's identity.

Most good people I know who pledged bad chapters are either silently complicit or adopted the characteristics of the chapter.

I guess those people are pretty weak. No one I know who pledged "bad" chapters ended up being silently complicit or adopting the characteristics of that chapter. And no it's not "silly" to work at changing the rep of a chapter. And even if the rep doesn't get any better, if you carry yourself a certain way, people will realize that you aren't like that.

Sorry, but I just can't see basing a lifetime decision on ONE chapter's antics. I guess if it's that bad you should just wait and do Grad.

One can't share what one doesn't have.

We've ruled out it being my frat.

lol I don't think it's safe yet to make assumptions, but no it's not your frat. It would be a sorority. Don't be fooled by the name. I'm female.

By the way Knight, what is Omega Delta Phi Fraternity?

National websites usually are, though.
