I meant the "I'd do whatever was asked of me by the brothers who came before me." in a situational way... for example were all hanging out at dinner, or at an alum v-ball tourney. If they wanted another pitcher of beer, and I was the highest zeta there, i'd have no problem getting up to go order it because I respect those guys. Even if one or two of them are assholes, I still respect them, becasue if it werent for their combined efforts, there would have been no chapter there for me to join. Its that simple for me. It really is. Sure there are jackass alums. There are alums I cant stand. But if they asked me to do something (again, situational) that wasnt out of the realm of reason, I'd do it. Remember, you lead by example, and I can set that example for the undergrads by being respectful of those that came before me.
Also, tho, I couldnt see a situation arising where it was a power play to see what someone could get me to do. The three chapters I am involved with (my initiating chapter, my transfer chapter, and the chapter I now advise) arent like that. Also, it being situational, when I am in my role as a High Pi, my FIRST obligation is to the Grand High Zeta and to uphold the laws and traditions of the fraternity. Second is to the undergrads; to assist and mentor.... alumni be dammned. No one is going to zeta me to violate my responsabilities to the fraternity or the undergrads.
