Esoterically speaking....

Emphasis must be placed on the new member's role in his fraternity. After his initiation, it is important to place this question before him; "Now that you're here, what are you going to do with it."? Sometimes, but not always, new members don't necessarily know how they are going to fit in as a brother, since there so used to being a pledge for the last couple of months or however long the process has lasted.

It could be helpful for fraternities to establish a sort of "Brother Education" after the ritual for each new member so they can feel at ease with whatever duties and responsibilities a Brother has in his respective organization. The different committees he may be useful on, strange scenarios in which a Brother could find himself in; in essence, an "after-ritual education' may very well serve a new brother to point him in the right direction and gives him a sturdy cornerstone in which to build on hiis fraternal experience.
