I agree completely, and I was glad to see that said so many times. (At least in the parts that I saw. I only got to see bits and pieces, but I taped the whole thing to watch later.) I was really glad to see a recurring emphasis on return to founding values (especially since that is a major theme in my own fraternity these days), the important and meaningful themes of our rituals, and teaching about/preparing for life, not just having a good time together.
I agree with what most others have said -- overall (at least from what I saw) it was very balanced. I could see someone watching it and saying "maybe I'll check this stuff out."
Question: Is the Phi Delt pledging ceremony open? I know that the pledging ceremonies of some fraternities (like Lambda Chi) are, but I was still a little surprised they showed part of it.
As for "Why the title?" A good hook to get people to watch.
(And Li'l Hannah -- be sure and check the History channel or local listings to make sure you have the right times and time zones. Kevlar's look like Central Time.)
