With all due respect, my understanding is that Tom *is* supporting Akkus' search. As I translate Tom's message, it appears that Tom was addressing Akkus' post asking why his (Akkus) validity was in question. It seems to me that Tom was letting Akkus know that he (Akkus) should ignore those who come to the Fraternity Recruitment Sub Forum and "try to stir things up".

Man, Earp is hard to follow. You may be right.

I do believe that TSteven is right. Someone could make a killing on a Earp-English Dictionary...

TSeven is correct to the Nth degree.


I still understand what I posted as do some others!

The Mind is the greatest function of the Human Body!

As a non greek posted, maybe it is spelled what was said backwards, but it is someone asking a question and until that is proven wrong then let it go.

I would prefer to try to help someone than belittle them!!!!!!!!

"IF" proved a troll then let is go until then!

I'd like to interject here that age isn't necessarily a barrier, particularly for fraternities.

For example, I rushed when I was 26 and an upperclassman and got bids from two fraternities at one university.

I ended up depledging due to the fact of transferring schools and there not being a chapter at the new university.

At my new school, I was pretty heavily recruited by all but one of the fraternities (though granted, this is a campus that had only four, now three fraternities) and got a bid from the fraternity which had the best mutual fit.

So now I'm a proud member of Delta Sigma Phi, Epsilon Iota chapter.

You really do need to keep in mind that it's all about mutual fit and go in with the proper attitude. At my first school, there were fraternities that I knew for one reason or another wouldn't work out for one reason or another and I can honestly say I'd have been miserable in those places.
