depends....

as a rule, the national takes all the petitioners, warts and all. The
Betas, I am recently told, had several hundred applicants at OK
State for their return...but they had their "old" house across the
street from the union, a super chapter at OU, good rep and had
been a good chapter before they were kicked off. Over 2,000 alums including rich farmers and oil men. But this does not happen often. Beta will succeed no matter what...at OSU
Rarely does a new groups have the adonis or the rich boy or the
scholar (unless he's a gnerd)
Starting a group is tough and you MUST have presence (size to all you bleeding hearts dummies) and you must be prepared for the post-charter fallout (buyer's remorse)
While the work is hard and the honors lifelong, even Abe Lincoln
could have been a Teke, and not everybody can be a Beta.
Kappa Sig has a neat saying "Not every man can wear the pin."
If you are so hell-bent on being selective, you will likely die. If you
are indeed selective and survive, you will be the largest on campus--and soon. But if all you do is bitch and moan and criticize all of us who strive...then you'll likely be like Frau Brüher
and share your views with us healots whether we like it or not.
