When a young man lies to get into a Fraternity, his word is no longer good. Why would I trust a brother who outright lied to get in the Frat? Why would I trust a brother who allows someone to beat him when he takes an oath that hazing, beating and associate with brothers who have not been active in the organization since their first dues card expired.
Greek Organizations have very strict rules, but we have a few who will take advantage of young men.
Just the other day a young man was caught trying to start a chapter pretenting to be an Omega, but when he was checked out he was found to be an imposter. We have a lot of suspended and individuals who have learned all about our organizations trying to take advantage of us. People get into trouble when they allow someone to pledge underground. If organizations are not following the campus rules for joining an organization, it is the responsibility of the student to report it. The SGA and Pan Hellenic Council should take action against these organizations.
This is why I don't discuss my Frat with anyone unless they have a financial card. If you are in another Greek Organization I will ask for your card. If we want to eliminate a lot of Crap we can start with following the rules.
Now if anyone think they should be beaten or allow themselves to be abused then they should not try to get in. This is not what we are about.
Sure I pledged, but I also did not take any abuse. We had to be able to outsmart the Big Brothers and we were good at it. Some wanted to beat and beat, but we were able to get around them. Some Big Brothers just hated certain individuals, but we were smart enough to make them look bad. There were a lot of fun things and I enjoyed them. Some Big Brothers were really funny and made us think, but there were some who were just plain jealous of brothers on the line.
Greek Organs are not bad. Do not blame the organization, but see how you can help keep the life line going. There is room for you if you are sincere about who you are. You can be one of the proud brothers where you can develop life long skills. Picture this when I joined Omega, I was immediately connected with Medical Doctors, Educators, Lawyers and many other professonial men. I could not believe that I was a part of all this. And the good thing about it, each one was willing to assist with our development. Went to a National Meeting after joining and met two of the founders. As young students they talked to us as long as we wanted to talk. My point is; this was immediate acceptance into a setting that I had not contributed not one thing to become a member, but it was there for me. So in any organization members can share similar experience.
No you don't have to be in an organization to experience what I mentioned. But this is why I believe that when members drop out it is not my responsibility to try to motivate them to continue. I feel that when they drop they don't want to be a part of us. No one makes anyone join and no one can keep them in, but I don't have time trying to explain why they should stay. I will continue to support and promote what we are about.
