Phrozen,

Young Bruh, trust me when I say this, and I say it with total fervor. Brotherhood exist in that plane betwixt the guttural and the temporal, and it is there that you will and must find brotherhood. If you should happen to meet your brother and you challenge him in the hopes of gaining a perspective of his training and readiness, you should automatically yearn to see him pass the test, but in the instance that he fails to prove himself readied rightly, you must school him.
I say that to say this, in you younger Bruhs, we Bruhs who were made before your genesis in our beloved, find a cause to remember and further, a cause to teach, train and mentor. In us older Bruhs, we Bruhs who were made before your genesis in our beloved, you must find a cause to seek to be taught, seek to be trained and seek to be mentored. After gaining this shield and calling it your own, you must always remain a student to her. Alpha seeks no man, so once she's yours, don't find yourself complaining about her, but rather, you should work to enhance her, upgrade her, and always, always Young Bruh, make sure that you greatly represent her. You never know, your example of brotherhood, might impact those that need to see an example of brotherhood, again, teaching the new what its all about, and reminding the old about what the original draw was, to begin with.
Right after we crossed those perilous sands back in 1991, an Old Head from my college chapter who had crossed in 1980, came down to school us Neos in what's referred to as, "hot seat training". We endured nearly an hour's worth of schooling and there were many lessons learned in that moment, but one of the teachings that was imparted on us that day still rings and resounds aloud in my head. This Old Head said:

"When it comes to being a Great Bruh remember this.
Greatness is in being, never in becoming"

"06!"
