Sion, there is a reason I said "in my expierence".. Let me clarify by what I meant by that.. Yes, I have been to parties thrown by frats, but that is not what I am judging them on. I based my judgement on the frat guys that were in my classes. Who stood in line with me, who were rude to others as they were waiting as well..
now I wish to say that this is a very biased view, but it is the view I hold. This is biased because who are the typical frat people? Are they the rude ones? Not always, it is just that the rude ones are the ones a person will notice.
Your frat sounds like a decent frat; one I would even enjoy being a part of, but at my college, and my only expierence with fraternities, there aren't any real cohesion for people of my major (Computer Engineering).. We work alone or in groups of 2. It is pretty pathetic.
I have a few friends who are part of a music frat. It actually seems like a decent one on campus, but the only exposure I have to it is through my friends, so again it is biased.
However, even after this last semester in my last liberal arts class, I had three frat guys sit in front of me during class.. They showed up to maybe 30% of the classes.. On top of that, when they did show up, they did not pay attention, were inconsiderate, and often times reeked of alcohol. Take into consideration this was an 11am class. This is the typical greek behavior among the majority of the frats on our campus (from what I have observed in all of my classes) and this is where my judgement comes from.
I am in no way saying all frats are horrible wastes of space, but I really don't like alot of the special considerations they are often given and how most of them do not even take it seriously.. (im not going to go into the special considerations other than they just built new frat houses on the tax payers money.. they didnt spend a dime and now live in mansions).
