Peace & Blessings
People, people...first, it must be understood where the taking of the wood comes from, for the BGLOs at least.
It comes from the African Rites of Passage.
Truth be told,to the BGLO Sorors & Frat, taking wood only happened during hell week.
When it started happening from day-one of your process, I'm not sure, I wasn't there.
Personally, I don't think it's necessary because ANYONE CAN TAKE PAIN! THAT DOES NOT MAKE YOU MY SISTER/BROTHER AND IT DOESN'T MAKE YOU A BETTER SISTER/BROTHER.
My Sisters/Brothers know the history of their organizations and uplift their communities by being positive role models for our youth.
I find that most of the Sorors/Frat who toot their horns about being in the "century club (100 strokes of wood +)" always end up inactive after they graduate and you only see them at parties, step-shows, etc. You never see them at a conference or community service project.
Finally, those six or seven weeks that you spend on line are just the beginning.....you continually pledge your organization until the day you die!!!
