The two posts concerning intake, if I interpret them correctly, revolve around interest in becoming a member of Omega Psi Phi. What I'm saying mirrors what you'll find on the FAQs section of the national website. It's important b/c it's reflects the truth (not PR)--the way things actually work in the culture of Omega. Since it's about brotherhood, it's quintessentially about relationships. You have to get to know active brothers, who want to know who you really are, to see if you are worthy of that honor. As I have done many times when talking to potential aspiriants face to face, the first question I ask them is this: Pourquoi? (Why?) Then: Where are you coming from? What kind of character do you possess? What do you want to get out of Omega? What do you have to offer Omega? Are you mature enough for Omega (not what is your chronological age)? What kind of service are you actively involved in in your community, church, profession,etc? I want to know who your friends are, who tangibly influences your life. This is where it starts.
