It's hard to give advice when there aren't any details.

What makes it a "hard chapter" to get into?

What are you doing that "most of" your time is spent with the Fraternity?

What "f*d up sh* is "on the way"? And how do you "know" this?

If you don't like what you are doing or how you are being treated, you have three options:

1. Speak up
2. Let it happen to you
3. Quit

No one else can make these decisions for you.

TKE Chapter at North Central New Jersey Tech?

Well, he posted that question, first of all. Secondly, he posted it in the TKE forum. Fair guess.

Directional + Tech School + NJ = extremely "unfratty".


I admit - I laughed, EW.

Chances are, the chapter is not going to put you through something they do not think you can handle. With that said, I am going to ASSUME/hope this chapter does not haze. Honestly, if you think it is the right place for you, and you have enjoyed being there these past 2 weeks, then stick with it. Make sure you are getting your school work done though, or else there is no reason to be pledging, because without making the grades, you can't be in a fraternity anyway. Good luck, and feel free to PM me. I am currently in college, and was in your position before; I don't mind helping you out.

I'm sorry but this guy isn't giving any specifics which I somewhat understand, but it's impossible to say whether the chapter is out of line or if the pledge just doesn't have what it takes with out having more than this. Have you bothered talking to your Big Borther, Hegemon, and Prytanis like your supposed to or did you just go posting stuff on the internet? I mean for all I know "hard to get into" means they are very selective which should make it an honor to be chosen.

So many chapters would drag the organizations through the mud if it wasn't for NHQs pulling in the reins and disregarding many of the wishes of shortsighted college co-eds. Most of his chapter probably isn't/won't be active after graduating, so why should the national entity uphold their opinions above all else when it comes to sustaining a chapter for years to come?

If you really think this, then you have a lot to learn about brotherhood.
