Opinions on SAE?

My last post was deleted, which says a lot that they have to pay to take down posts. I will restate my last post (and continue to do so if this keeps getting deleted, as I believe this is important for everyone to know): they are not affiliated with both SAE nationals and UNC IFC. This means they have no rules to follow and are not even technically a fraternity, which is very risky for anyone who decides to go to parties there or for the brothers themselves. They're just a bunch of guys living in a house with no accountability. This is why they are throwing big parties right now with no risk of facing consequences from the school or nationals (but this means that individual brothers have a high likelihood of getting charged by the police if caught). I would not rush there or even go there for that matter. Some of them are good guys from what I can tell and this is not a hate post about members, I just think people should be aware of how SAE is run, especially for guys considering joining.

Actually they are recognized by nationals and have a strong alumni presence who works with nationals. Their dues still go towards the national association each semester. So there is definitely a national presence and recognition going on despite what UNC IFC thinks.
