balanced man vs traditional

I did in fact read the whole post, however I saw the same points being made as every balanced man makes in defense of their chapters.

According to national's website you guys nurse a nice 3.0 gpa and chapter size is under 35. Maybe it has to do with the quality of the greek system there but those numbers aren't much to brag about.

We actually have 46 guys, with a 47th on the way. Last semester was a make or break semester for us, we were 16,000 dollars in debt and had less than 20 guys, in one semester we turned it all around. We more than doubled our numbers and we got out of debt. Just got an Excelsior Cup for finance. We were 39 man last fall, but 3 dropped. We then got 10 new guys this spring. You could have just asked me about or chapter rather than checking out nationals. Anyways, having even just 30 guys is impressive for a school our size.

Fraternities are about power, period. If joining a chapter gives you an advantage over everyone else on your campus then it shouldn't matter whether it's traditional or BMP. However, in what I've seen the BMP chapters have been more like clubs where the losers go to think they stand for something.

our chapter currently has 66 actives with a 3.11 GPA. while gpa is not a measure of brotherhood, you also have to remember that we are here for school first, and SigEp second. GPA should be VERY important to every chapter. There is no excuse for a brother to have under a 3.0 gpa ever. anyone who can't at least pull a 3pt should not be a SigEp as far as I am concerned, anyone who puts a reasonable amount of time into school should at least get a 3.0.
