Intake OR Pledge

[Texas_Dove]

BEFORE READING ANY FURTHER PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT I AM NOT SEEKING TO ENGAGE IN DEBATES ABOUT PLEDGING BEING BETTER THAN INTAKE OR VICE VERSA!!!!


NOW PLEASE CONTINUE


Why do some individuals continue to look for ways to divided us?

I have looked on some other forums and have read huge debates on whether someone who went through the Intake process should be considered a "REAL" member of the organization.

I believe that there are better questions to ask:

QUESTION ONE
"Don't the older members of our respective organizations each have a responsibility to pass on the legacy of our founders to the new members regardless of Pledge/Intake?"

QUESTION TWO
"Don't new members have a responsibility to educate themselves about every aspect of their organization regardless of Pledge/Intake?"

Are things somewhat different because BGLOs don't Pledge anymore? Of course, BUT DON'T HATE THE PLAYAS, HATE THE GAME. All nine organizations decided that Intake was the method to bring in new members.

Finally, everyone knows that if the MIP had been in place during the same time that some of the people who complain about it Pledged, they would have went thru the MIP as well.


REMEMBER DIVINE NINE!!!
TOGETHER WE STAND..... DIVIDED WE FALL.....
