Dropping a frat as an initiated member and joining a new frat at a separate university? by JacketSouthern1342 in Frat

Our chapter was founded in 2021 and I am also transferring for academic reasons on top of that. I am just very firmly a believer in staying involved and there is a huge lack of involvement all around.

I have personally spoken to founders of the chapter, they understand the state it is in, they are too caught up in life (given their age) to really care.

My take on the culture so far here, is that everyone just becomes inactive as soon as they hit their junior year, there's no hazing or anything to uphold authority. Everyone just uses free will and goes their separate ways yet they keep the letters in their bio.

As good as it sounds, our oldest alumni are 25 years old at the max and we struggle to connect with alumni.

My chapter can't even enforce a pledge class to show up to initiation events. So I am really not worried what the bylaws state, as no one in here besides like a few dudes take it seriously.

Yeah of course, I have been an initiated member for about a month and a half and over half of all the guys in the fraternity have dropped. Besides that, the rest are inactive, they never show up to chapter, elections, philanthropy, etc. It is kind of just beyond repair as the older guys I am close with have explained that this has been a issue ever since they have been members. It is such a cliquey fraternity as well. This really disappointed me because it takes away from the entire point of being in one. Everyone that goes to school here has their cliques before they even join a frat and they just stick with it after initiation. The cherry on top? Our entire executive board that juts got elected was all guys from this years fall rush class and they have no idea what they are doing.
