5 things? Dag, that's tough.

1. How the ideologies of our organization are heavily intertwined into the times in which it was founded (Civil Rights Movement - a revolutionary, progressive, and spirited time for our people, the US, and the world in general).

2. Having 10 of the 12 Founders (and Past Grand Polari) be still alive and willing to share the stories and ideology behind our founding. They are so approachable. We are truly blessed.

3. Our Shield. 'Nuff said.

4. "Building a Tradition, Not Resting Upon One!", "It Takes a Man!", "It only takes a few weeks to pledge, but it takes a LIFETIME to be a brother.", "OW! OW!"

5. Our commitment as a International Organization to bettering our community through our service, our ideologies, and through our special kinship to all mankind (not just our brothers & sweethearts). Although we could do better (as can all organizations), I like that we are making an impact and I pray that our influence and the potential difference that we can make will have reach across every continent one day.
