Take a closer look at the context of the pictures...
Not that this is really even worth debating over, but I was drawn to this thread because it is a Pike Chapter that is being discussed. If you look closely at the paddling pictures, you can plainly see that the paddles are decorated and one would assume they are a tradition at that chapter. In addition, they appear to be a some sort of formal event with many other people there (non-members). As I stated in my previous post, the paddling looks playful in nature as if they were posing for the picture. Not to mention the fact that no where near those pictures is a label that says "Brother XYZ paddling Pledge XYZ"...so as far as we can tell, could be two brothers goofing off with a paddle. As someone said, none of this really matters cause those guys are long gone now considering the pics are around 5 years old.
