Hey Fergy!!

I agree with Brad......I do think the founding fathers would be rolling in their graves if they knew some of the things that HQ is doing to our fraternity. Changing ritual, changing insignia, changing the way things have been done for a hundred years. Headquarters saw a problem with the fraternity before BMP was formed and they figured that it was because of pledging. They didnt stop to think that maybe it was individual chapters bringing the whole system down. So they just cut us off like a bad limb and put on a new one....BMP....Problem sovled. I agree 100% with everything that Brad and Mike had to say. Anyways, I'm so proud that I went through as a pledge and was initiated 100% as a brother. I know all of the ritual.....I've made the strongest bonds of my life and I'll never forget my "traditional" memories. Its sad to see the ways of the greatest fraternity change like they have. Its also sad that the fraternity has been split in two by this...and that HQ has pretty much dissowned traditional chapters..This isn't what Carter Ashton Jenkins wanted at all.....In my eyes I see Sigma Phi Epsilon the fraternity and SigEp the business. HQ wants to make money....that's all. They send salesmen to our chapters asking us to become BMP for God sake. I'm a traditional SigEp and damn proud. Dont hate what you dont understand BMP. Its not fair....and another thing...just cause we're trad. doesnt mean we haze!!!! I've also seen that most traditional chapters kick ass o their campuses. I dont want to see this fraternity loose its roots and traditions over money......that would be a really really sad day for SigEp.
