What is really sad, and I could not agree more with you all about the paddle situation, that each of our Pledge/Associate classes made a very big Paddle and listed the members of that class with the Class designation on it! They were Friggen awesome. Ask Jono, he has seen them.
But Hdq said NO NO, that is showing a form of Hazing. Well, my first thought was "Animal House" when they were seated in the OHOH room going blow job!
We had Brothers who came back with their Familys looking for Their Paddle to show them. That is something that has been lost and should be brought back!
I mean come on for crying out loud, these things were 5' tall! Try to swat someone with that!
I think Int. is worried about the Latitude that may be taken in certain circumstances, but lets be realistic about this!
I am glad to see others who feel the same way as I do. It is a rememberence from one Brother to another. I never had a Little Brother!
