Please my fellow brothers, correct me if I am wrong, it may just be a chapter problem.

I can't speak to any GLO except my own, but I can say without reservation that the bonds of brotherhood among brothers in
FMA are as strong as in any other social GLO I have run across. Even back in the days when Sinfonia was classified as a professional rather than a social fraternity, the difference in brotherhood between Sinfonians on one hand and members of other professional GLO's was noticable, at least on my campus. They acted more like clubs. We were (and are) a true brotherhood.
As with any GLO, there may be some chapters where this is not true, and as with any GLO, these are the chapters that are in trouble in general. But as a whole, we take brotherhood
very seriously; it's fundamental to our whole reason for existence. We don't just call each other "brothers," nor do we just talk about brotherhood -- we foster it, we live it, and we cherish it.
And that's my 2 cents.
