MIP CAN TEACH YOU ALL OF THAT also if you do it correctly. And that is the problem...too many of us are not.

You all are having a lovely discussion here...just wanted to put my 6 cents in!
Giggy Z you are soo right! The place to change the current state of BGLO's is on the floor of a convention, BUT...most of the people complaining about it...are not FINANCIAL or ACTIVE! And if they are at a national convention...they are there hanging out..not about the business of the fraternity or sorority!!!
I think we are all in a catch 22. I am of the MIP era...and I will say that the only process I will EVER envy is the process above ground PRE 1990...cuz to many old heads...nobody has been "PLEDGED" since 1990! I don't think MIP offers quite enough...it turns the whole "process" into too much of a business... But at the same time...I understand why it is the way it is....those that came before us made it this way....So who is really to blame? WHile I cherish my process... I would love to see an above ground process come back with modifications...
An Aside:
I wish those in greekdom that shed so many blood and tears....and claimed their process to be "better" or "superior" to MIP would come back and take an ACTIVE part in their organizations and stop simply complaining!!
