Trad1,
Just reading your first paragraph tells me you have no idea what the BMP entails. As an FYI, the BMP takes LONGER to learn the secrets of the fraternity than traditional pledging.
As for the brotherhood statements, I'll just say that, as a BMP chapter founder, I know what brotherhood is and learned this through toils and stress that makes doing pushups look like a cakewalk. And I guarentee you are not any closer to your pledge brothers than I am to my brothers.
I've said it before and I'll say it again...SigEp chapters differ on each campus - always have and always will. I've seen and heard about very strong and very weak chapters all over the country, and the reality is that whether they are Trad or BMP doesn't make a bit of difference...it's all about the men in the chapter and the alums that stick around to support it.
