I think the BMP program is legit, coming from a traditional program. I think if there are traditions, there has to be something to be learned from the process, to create better men, not to embarrass and degrade their ethics or morality in the process. I just think it's important that the pledges EARN their letters, not just pay dues and get handed a big bro, a big sis, and a brotherhood. There's gotta be some work for it. I'm sure the BMP program still implements some work to earn those letters, but it's just a different process. If nationals are destroying important traditions, that really starts to erode at something that was established a long time ago that made each SigEp brother there better because of the process. I'm not advocating anything that pressures a brother into compromising his integrity ie. forcing him to strip naked and do stupid crap [we def. don't do that useless crap] but the bottom line is making sure that as brothers, we introduce them into the brotherhood, and they show their commitment to stay a true brother. That's the point of a fraternity, commitment, and both the traditional and BMP programs attempt to accomplish that. Pride and commitment, that's all it takes.
