One positive thing is that the new manuals came out simultaneously with the roll-out. We've needed new material for so long. Plus, these are hard copy books.
Something that not everyone may be aware of is that there was an initiative a couple of years ago to place all of our exoteric materials on line at FRATERNITYMANUALS.COM

This would have been a dynamic format that would allow anyone with a fraternity manuals account to make changes on the fly! I didn't think that was such a hot idea and it appears that cooler, more practical heads have prevailed.
