Here is the thing,
Guys that join around the same time usually end up running the fraternity at the same time. I joined in Feb. or 99. I am chapter president, all of the guys on my exec board joined either one semester before or one semester after I did. When you pledge together, you have to work together to accomplish goals and when you fail everyone loses. The BMP project seperates the guys that otherwise should be pledging together and keeps them from learning valueable lessons about teamwork and about eachother that they should have learned during their pledge ship. They are forced to work with eachother on the execboard having very little experince and knowledge of eachother. Plus, you can have pledge activities and still have brotherhood events. Like I said there is good things and bad things in each of the programs. For development purposes I would have to agree that BMP is best, but for the purpose of teaching men of the same class to work together, to set and accomplish goals, I think that the traditional style fraternity promotes that the best. A combination of both would probably be best, if they didn't contradict eachother.
