Going back to a traditional chapter is a terrible ideal. I don't understand how you can make such an extrodinary statement when your chapter has always been bmp. The BMP is probably the only reason SigEp has shown growth of 1% over the past five years while all other fraternities have shown an average of 5% decline.
And for your marketing statement. Yes, it is a marketing move. They are selling that being in SigEp will make you a better person both physically and mentally. It is all about promoting better brothers that makes the better image. Read pg 105 in The Lifetime Responsibilities of Brotherhood to see how important perception is.
I have gone through a traditional system and was treated as a subclass member. That is not what SigEp is about. I was hazed and I can bet you the majority of traditional chapters do as well.
