Well, either your EC was a real jag, or you just got him on a bad day. No chapter has to go MOP. Its the chapters choice. If they feel they are as good as they can be and do everything they need to do in order to be good Beta's, then they shouldn't go MOP. I feel the same way.
But, when my chapter (personally) felt that way for 10 years, and we went from 60 guys to 18, and they STILL feel that way, when our traditions, lack of formal rush, lack of GOOD leaders, lack of organization drive them into the ground - then the MOP is something that can help re-structure that chapter and get them back on track to ruling.
Again, if a chapter doesn't need/want MOP, fine, stay that way. The only division in our fraternity, is being created by cry-baby chapters that say 'you're dividing our fraternity'. Which is untrue.
