My colony is a great group of guys and our nationals is behind us 100% towards our chartering, but our school’s IFC and student life refuse to let us ‘on campus’. We are not recognized by either of these institutions and, therefore, cannot officially mix with any sororities or hold any official functions on campus.
I was recently elected to the position of fraternity president of a local fraternity. My fraternity is fairly young, though due to virtue of transfer students, we happen to have brothers at other schools around the country. I believe that we are at a critical point in our fraternity’s life, in which the contemplation to become national is here.
Does joining a fraternity look good on my resume?
The school I’m at now didn’t have a chapter, so I tried starting one myself. It wasn’t even my idea at first, but my friends started the idea in the fall of 2011 and were down to start a chapter with me. I thought it would be a great opportunity, but this past year I’ve been a one man team.
What can we do to change our neighbor’s perspective on our fraternity? We have offered him community service, food, etc. numerous times but he has always replied, “I don’t need any help, I will call the cops whenever you have people over.”
Fraternity brothers have disagreements. It is perfectly natural for that to happen whenever you get a bunch of headstrong guys together.
I was initiated in an IFC fraternity and decided it is not for me. Can I leave and then Rush another IFC fraternity?
My fraternity is only about ten years old since it was first founded nationally. In those ten years, we have managed to only charter five chapters. What way do you think expanding would be successful and make this fraternity grow?
I am transferring to a school that does not have a chapter of my fraternity. I really want to stay in Greek Life but because I’m already initiated I’m not sure if I can join another fraternity. What can I do?
One of the constant grumblings I hear is about the benefit of a fraternity’s national headquarters. A lot of brothers complain that the fraternity pays a ton of money in national dues, but does not see much benefit from all the fees that are paid.
