There is also a PAC established by members of my fraternity. They are backing several members who are "progressive" more or less. I don't closely follow the PAC.
The fraternity, especially this administration, makes a huge point to highlight brothers seeking office. But this brother has not received the same level of attention.
I don't support this brother's ambitions and I hope he loses, but fair is fair. I shouldn't have had to find out from a weirdo on GC that my own fraternity brother was seeking office.

For what it's worth, the same guy showed me I have a Sigma Nu brother running in Montana. I also hope he loses and I don't have to know anything about him other than he's an (R) this year. And my organization probably tends to skew (R) more than not.
And there's absolutely nothing wrong with individal members forming a PAC so long as it is not the fraternity itself.
That said, I really hope Greek organizations do a better job in the future at steering clear of politics. Those of us in the housing business are still looking for tax reform making donations to our house corps deductible. That should be a bipartisan issue.
