Hi there, don't really know what I'm doing here, but I'm an "old" Italian frat. We are those guys here (mixed pictures from orders from all over Italy
https://www.facebook.com/media/albums/?id=122062876454 )
By Italian I mean I'm part of an Italian fraternity, not greek letters here, we got latin acronyms (I'm not at University any more, already happily working).
Since things are pretty different over there (as every country developed in centuries their peculiar kind .. of our common same game) I'm pretty curious.
Especially on why someone of you feel the need of injuring pledging newcomers, why do you have sexual separation, why do you use greek letters instead of some kind of more representative names, or just more .. American..
Mine is just curiosity, I'm a brother from 1998 :P Always interested in knowledge of other cultures. Strange thing is that I've met frats from Spain (another whole different evolution of the game, they sing and play guitars) from Finland and Belgium (they travel a lot) but none actually cares about the north american evolution of the thing. I've always wondered why, since it looks like you're doing some very similar thing.
Personally, I feel pretty curious. "Houses", "greek run" or "social service" (ARGH!) "chapters" are all words that I'd like to understand. As well as how your hyerachies work, if there are any, what's the behaviour between different fraternities, how outsider people see you ...
If any is interested, I can tell how is done here.
Cheers
ps. forgive my english
