Toast Song

[emb021]

There is more to changing the Toast Song then money or appeasing potential members or outside orgs.

Traditions are great. I am very much for traditions and love it when chapters take a look at other chapters' traditions for ideas for new traditions. But there comes a time when traditions need to change. Sometimes its due to outside pressure (legal, membership numbers[both bringing in new members and keeping current members], finances, etc.). Sometimes its due to inside pressure (members seeing the negative impact of such traditions, members themselves not liking certain traditions, etc.).

APO as an organization has changed several times. (and we still have people fighting over them!) It will continue to change. We all have to make sure that the changes are for the right reasons at the right time. Are you preventing or resisting change for the right reasons? At what point will you allow for change?

For those who don't want the Toast Song to change, what would need to happen to make you change your mind? (no, you don't need to answer that here, just think about this)
