An idea
I'm third generation sigep. My grandfather was president of his chapter. My dad was in the same chapter and was a Pledge Adviser, hopefully keeping poor pledges from the wrath of the PM. I am now in a different, but still traditional chapter as the screen name implies. "Sigma Phi Kappa" isn't taken, anyone willing to tell nationals that we don't want people calling our house "sigma phi everyone" anymore and we wish them and the BMP the best of luck? "Kappa stands for the knowledge of what it means to have a place in the brotherhood." ~ the new symbolism... While I don't blame any balanced man chapter individually, they simply either didn't have a choice or didn't know better. BMP does accomplish national's goals. It creates huge membership boost and revenue boost, and decreases insurance costs. When nationals decided it was in the brotherhood BUSINESS is when our fraternity got screwed over. The only thing BMP balances is the budget , forsaking our brotherhood. Balanced Man people don't know what it means to be a SigEp... unless they met a pledge master, somehow, who was kind enough to show them. traditional members worked hard for their letters. And I don't care who you recruit, we recruit oddballs and douches all the time, some leave, some make it... many of them are my good friends, but if they don't have to work for it, it degrades the brotherhood. If you're a BM and want to meet a pledge master... me and my pledge class would be more than happy to share ours with you. He was a profound individual who could teach you a lesson just by looking at you, and when we were initiated finally, he was the first to welcome us and tell us the party had started. That is what this fraternity should be.
