Members Versus Men
The Greek Letter Societies among our group appear to have entered upon a period of mad competition for obtaining members. Pledges are increasing in number. Scarcely a student on the college campus but wears a pledge pin or a frat pin. Are the fraternities forgetting their original high standards? Can it be said that every man who enters college is of Fraternity material? If in any place, our Fraternity has entered this mad race for members, pause and consider.
"The value of our Fraternity is not in numbers, but in men, in real brotherhood. Eight men thoroughly immersed in the true spirit are far greater assets than eighty with lukewarm enthusiasm."

Once again, you are not disclosing the True name of your frat (I pause to use fraternity in this case...). Original High Standards - Real Brotherhood? Really? Did these "original" standards mean physical abuse? Real Brotherhood? Do you have to beat this out of new members?
Earlier, I asked if God forbid, something goes wrong, were you will to be accountable as a brother? In the next post, your answer, apparently, was no. What kind of brotherhood is that?
It may be true that pledges in your organization are increasing in number - but, what is the pledge/initiation ratio?

Don't be your brother's keeper; rather, be your brother's Brother.
