I'm curious as to whether or not you've tried to change it, or you just like talking about it. The thing that most people seem to forget is that Headquarters does not run SigEp. SigEps run Headquarters.
And if you have an issue with how something is run, is it more effective to point out shortcomings or to run it yourself?

Yes, I just served as VP Programming for our chapter. I also attended Conclave in San Antonio this last time. I applied for the Hicks scholarship for most improved GPA, and I am registering for CLA.
Headquarters does not run SigEp? Are you serious? Why do we have RD's that come visit each chapter, and report back to HQ on how we are doing? Why do we have chapters like Texas Upsilon (SMU) that get cleaned out by nationals of their traditional values and changed over to BMP? Is that not nationals running SigEp?
If you have an issue with something, it is good to discuss it with your brothers, and get ideas from everyone. In a traditional system, you rely on your brothers for support, and not focus on just the individual. You must be a product of BMP, or strongly support it or else you would know that our discussion is one of concern.
The only man that keeps me down is me? Thank you for the quote for the day, but I feel just fine about being a traditional SigEp. I don't quite have the time to confront nationals, rally a support group, and change the way the fraternity runs its business. I have school to attend you know. I also serve on the community service chair of the fraternity, and I like to focus my time on those in need.
Good day Steve.
