As I look over all of this input one thing stands out, the fact that those who didn't go through a difficult intake process(skatin Bitz), feel that it's necessary to defend themselves. The one thing that 7BA94 is saying is that regardless of how you do once you get into the frat, you missed a vitally important part of the intake process-BROTHERHOOD! I know everything about my line brothers. From their birthdays to their parent's names and addresses. Just like natural siblings born from the same parents, you go through everything growing with someone. Let me give you a scenerio. Suppose that when you were younger, your family was very poor. Then when you turned 18, your parents came into a lot of money. All of a sudden there all of these family members, who you have never seen in your life, standing on your front door step with their hands out calling you family, how would you feel. As for the sister who made reference to Dr. Martin Luther King, my founders created the pledging process and Dr. King would have wanted everyone who joins this frat to do it according to how they wanted it done. But I do agree that going through a pledge process and taking it doesn't make you an Alpha either. All that proves is that your level of tolerance for discomfort is higher than others. If you don't work as hard for your frat as you would for your real family, then you still skated and don't deserve to wear letters. I mean all of you guys who pledged, but still won't do coomunity service, or would rather chill with a bunch of groupies instead of attending a frat meeting or won't extend the frat image by promoting it's service to people. for all of you that this applies to, you sicken me. To all of those brothers who pledged and continue to promote the frat through service and hard work, Keep rolling onward and upward toward the light.
