my 2 cents
I pledged a Traditional (non-balanced man) chapter. My pledge ship was inspiring to me. I was asked to do things that maybe I would normally not do, but did these things out of respect towards the active class and the alumni that were there before me. I was never asked to do anything gross or anything that was physically imposable. All the activities that my pledge brothers and I did were very important to our growth together as fraternity brothers and as friends. Since then my chapter is trying to make strides in trying to instill the same motivation and heart in our new members that has been passed down. We have realized that most of the stuff that was done in the past was stupid. We have adopted a new program for our pledges. This program is still new to us and still has a lot of bugs in it.
As far a tradition that my chapter will always uphold is having the biggest and best house on campus. My chapter had the first house on campus in 1952 and just broke ground our new house April 19th, 2003. We are now building our chapter membership and working to become one of the top three fraternities on campus. We are also starting to build our own traditions that will be carried on for the ages. We have also adopted many BMP ideas and have been very successful with those endeavourers.
I will add more in time.
Fraternally,
Michael J
