Yep.
And as I said in another thread, having an alumni talk about a sad moment in his life where his brothers got him through some tough times is an excellent way to go about the speech. i.e. they all showed up at his dad's funeral and so on.

Overall, though, it's the bigness of the car that counts the most. Because when something bad happens in a really big car – accidentally speeding through the middle of a gang of unruly young people who have been taunting you in a drive-in restaurant, for instance – it happens very far away – way out at the end of your fenders. It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
