That's awesome to hear that Institute had such an impact on you! Did you meet any guys from Nebraska? I'm sure there were probably one there, since I think we sent guys to all the sessions.
I've never had to deal with the issue of partnering or not, since Nebraska was actually the first chapter to go through the Initiative. But you definitly hit the nail on the head: The MOP initiative is not some quick fix, propaganda, but actually a way of life. It's about becoming all that is good in Beta Theta Pi, and benefitting from the genius that our Founders "of ever honored memory" were able to create and pass on.
I suppose that much of the controversy that surrounds the Initiative is mainly due to the creation of dry housing and risk management policies. I honestly can say that while dry housing may sound like a death knell for some chapters, it has been the most positive thing for Alpha Tau. I know my own GPA is higher b/c I don't have that alluring distraction of drinking during the week, and I also know that it has made our chapter house a nicer place to live. In rush, the cleanliness and physical state of our house is a major plus especially when mom's are leery of their little boy going off to college. All that said, I can guarentee you that we at Nebraska know how to have a good time!
I'll end by seconding ZZ-kai- in asking you to stick around GC...we could always use another Son of the Stars.
