While I do agree with chapter I have to disagree with focusing less on pledge class unity. When one is an initiate they are just quite that. An initiate. They are not a brother. I feel, when I say "I" it means me and myself only for future reference, that teamwork is a large part of the pledge experience. However, if one cannot work together as a team with their pledge class then how are they expected to work effectively with them when they are initiated? If the Hypophetes of the chapter is doing his job then the chapter unity should be there. There is a difference between an initiate and a brother. While I don't believe the two shouldn't be too close, I do agree that there should be a degree of separation. If that particular initiate was to do something that could defame the chapter, then how would that be handled? That's where the degree of separation comes in. While they are a part of the chapter, they are not a brother. That's just me. To elaborate I just think that there needs to be a degree of separation between the brothers and initiates and that the two should have two forms of unity. The unity should then be merged by an effective hypophetes. *all of this is purely opinion!!!! no hatemail please*
