I agree with you. This is a realization that takes many brothers years to experience. Typically, any chapter going through troubled times sees an increase in apathy and the number of "fair weather brothers".
I commend you for voicing this stance and I hope your chapter has the conviction to follow through with it. I will be the first to admit that sometimes it is hard to suggest that a brother progess on in status before his due time.
