Why so much hate for Pi Lam? They're a colony. Obviously they won't have it all together.

Because they think they're better than the other houses based on the fact they aren't the stereotypical guys found in the house. And guess what, your wall of prejudice isn't special either. Many houses raise thousands of dollars for good causes close to their heart so gtfo thinking you're the only one bringing awareness to problems around the world.

Common man. They have to try hard in a school with 47 bigger, established, housed fraternities. It's fine if they are trying to find some selling point to their pnms. It isn't easy being a colony at u of I when you are unhoused. Give them a break and some years.

I have seen some of the Pilams on the quad during their wall event and most of them aren't really fratty. They are alright chill guys but this campus is dictated by how fratty you can be and that might be the source of all the hate.

it's not a fraternity, it's a social club without any kind of social

Not every colony is successful. It's always a 50-50 chance. Sigma Tau gamma came to campus in 2013 and so did phi kappa theta. Both are almost non existent. Phi kap even had a house yet they failed. DKE came last year and hasn't started on the right foot. If you see the stats it's just beta, Pilam and phi kappa Tau which have been mildly successful in the past 2 years and beta and phi tau( they are taking over theta chis house) have big houses. Pilam has managed to make a small niche without a house and don't mock them for that.

Honestly the only colony that's truly been successful in the past few years is Beta and I think their recolonization has gone about as well if not even better than they could've ever hoped. Block third year back, lots of bar pull, getting to keep their huge house in a great location, it's been crazy how fast they've been able to rise to already mid-tier status and it'll be interesting to see what they can do with all this potential. I don't know what they've done that's made them so successful and what other houses can do to replicate this, but no matter what it is, it's definitely worked.
