Traditional and BMP chapters have some differences, but when it comes right down to it, they should be the same. Sure, there is no trial membership in BMP, and it does take longer to know all the ritual, but it is all the same. SigEp does not promote hazing (of course) so even traditional shouldn't have it. Our chapter went BMP about 5 years ago, mainly because we were in trouble of losing our charter. Our chapter was dying and we were not excelling in anything, whatsoever. Now we have about 60 men, Dean's Trophy Winners, Intramural winners and highest GPA... not to mention 2 reps on the student governing board. We really are balanced men, like we should be.
