Is the question mark on your keyboard broken?

And are you 16? Why are you trying to start a fraternity?

Maybe whatever caused his exclamation point to stick also broke his question mark. That's what you get for spilling soda on your keyboard.

That would be a fail for said GCer.

1. Go through formal rush and get rejected by every chapter at your campus.

2. Come to the realization that you- and you alone- have a better understanding of what makes a good fraternity than hundreds of years of human experience.

3. Create letters, a crest, a motto and a ritual book based on what YOU know is right- see #2 above.

4. Come back here in a year to ask us how to double your membership to 2.

And then come back in 100 years with 50 chapters.

There needs to be a good reason to go against the about 70 NIC fraternities who have weathered nearly 200 years of struggle and success; Civil War and Depression. We are still here, welcoming brothers and sharing our lives with Sorority Women. We think that this is good.

A good reason isn't hard to find, there are non NIC fraternities that exist right now that are quite worthy.

And LOL at sharing your lives with us. Ha.

If you have to ask, then you'll never know.

Look at your post, now back to mine. Now back at your post now back to mine. Sadly, it isn’t mine, but if you stopped trolling and started posting legitimate comments it could look like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re scrolling through the forums, reading the post your post could look like. What did you post? Back at mine, it’s a reply saying something you want to hear. Look again the reply is now diamonds. Anything is possible when you think before you post.
