Early morning house cleans, study halls, Pledge reviews, member interviews, pledge uniforms, scavenger hunts, pledge trips, etc. etc. Are just fine to me. You can disagree all you want, but these things teach pledges to respect their house, respect the history of the chapter/fraternity, act/dress like gentlemen, respect each other, and build bonds within their class. If you still take all this as illegal and "outdated"...then i'm sorry. Maybe this is why Southern fraternity chapters are among the best in the country, without a doubt.

This is the first time, that I can recall, that I have ever seen you make a list like the above.
Interesting list.
Why?
For the most part and in general form, it is what we did.
So, if for some reason, we have missed a major meeting of the minds along the way, I am sorry.
Five Apples,
