You may not fully understand the brotherhood... i guess you'd have to pledge and be accpeted to understand... that it won't matter once your in. Of course, you would want to tell them in a subtle manner (if at all).

I love all my brothers, and if any of them had something they wanted to tell me from their heart, I would listen. I mean, when I was going to our Ranniculus Ball, I lost my date at the last second (family), and at least five other brothers offered to find a girl for me to go with (although I did not need help). I went with Sara, another friend of mine. But hey, your brothers will love you for you; that is what the brotherhood is.

Aristotle said there are three types of friendship... that of use, pleasure, and goodness.

Use is a friendship where one may use another for a position of power... but this friendship is not good, as he may lose power, and with it the friendship is nullified.

Pleasure is a friendship where one may use another for something pleasureful (as in male/female relationships). One makes the other feel good. But, like use, pleasure may also leave the friendship, and without that pleaseure, this friendship too, is void.

Which brings us to the only friendship which is "true." Goodness. A friendship of goodness is not based on pleasure or use... use and pleasure may be a part of this frienship, but to a higher extent. (If the use or pleaseure leave, a friendship of goodness remains in-tact).

The point is, brotherhood is based on a frienship of goodness. I like to think of our fraternity as a family, because my real family is 400 miles away, and going home is not an option.
