Having heard about TBI last year and after reading the C&C article today I am both excited and disappointed. I always thought that the "fraternity education" concept was a failure because AMs and older brothers had different needs. AMs needed to learn the basics about the fraterntiy and what brotherhood was and we were the only fraternity that did not have a 'pledge' education program. I am excited to see that we will have a new program for AM education. Additionally anything that works to keep older brothers involved is good, so the brotherhood education seems like a good idea to me.
I am dissappointed by the focus on recuitment. Almost all of the recruitment plans from IHQ have been failures because what works for one chapter or in one region will not work for every one. Also the three tiered program to which IHQ controls access seems to be just too much BS to me. If I paid my dues then I should have access to everything IHQ offers, even if I choose not to exploit it.
I hope that TBI can become succesful and at least it will give us something to use.
