How do you feel when you meet a brother/sister who had been initiated into your fraternity/sorority not by the typical pledging period? Ones who are known as "honorary" brother/sister. For me it comes down to why they are joining my fraternity as an honorary brother. I believe strongly that you can never understand the true meaning of Phi Tau unless you had gone through the undergraduate association. As an undergraduate you deal with the undergraduate problems of the fraternity and learn from that. I have no problems with honorary brothers infact I happen to be a part of a honorary member's initiation. I took part in it and was proud to call this man my brother; becuase of his work for the fraternity and his love of our organization. However, I still feel he will never be able to gain the knowledge and heart of a brother who initiated as an undergraduate. Do not think I am saying this because of soley the pledge period, but more as in the learning and gaining(in the heart) you get through the undergraduate Greek experience.
