I will never call a BMP member my brother. I can't. Anything that changes the experience solely to increase numbers and revenue will never have my respect. The idiots at nationals are very lucky the South hasn't broken off.
The idiots at nationals are whoring themselves to the media and to insurance companies, and it's taxing on the fraternity. First, SigEp is less tolerant of its chapters that get in trouble than any other major national fraternity. One strike and your chapter is gone. Real brotherly love there. But hey, they don't care--it makes us look better.
This has practical problems as well. Many chapters that are kicked off campus and given the option to either lose their charter or become BMP choose the former. The result? Rather than returning to campus, they become sketchy and unregulated. Hence why schools like William and Mary, College of Charleston, and Wake Forest have earned reputations as the "date rape" fraternities on campus--something no chapter on campus would have. Nationals could easily give them charters back as traditional chapters, but instead opts to save its face and let dangerous situations bubble.
