Don't feel that way! The younger brothers (i.e. the up and coming leaders of your chapter) think they have the answers to everything. They think they can handle any problem the chapter encounters. They think they don't need the "older brothers" anymore. But know what? They'll eventually come upon a situation that they're not sure how to handle. It's then and only then that they'll come to the older brothers such as yourself for help. And know what you'll do? Well, to yourself you'll be thinking, "HA! TOLD YA SO!!!" But to them, you'll be gracious and you'll pass on the things you've learned in order help them.

I know, because it happened to me! It happens to all of the graduating brothers/sisters who have held major positions in their chapter. It even happened to those long-ago older brothers and older sisters that WE replaced!

Believe me, the novelty of being the head honchos will wear off and reality will sink in and the new leaders will realize that they still need your sage advice. And, as I said, you will give it to them because you love your fraternity, and because that's what older brothers do
