I feel you DGStyle. While we are all human and make mistakes, I have to believe that all of us who are in Greek organizations are role models.
Are we not suppose to be the best and the brightest? I can only speak for myself but when I came into the frat it was drilled into my head that you no longer represent yourself.
You represent Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, your chapter and over 100,000 other men across this world. It's a heavy burden, but if it was one that you really didn't want to carry, then you shouldn't have undertaken membership.
One of the things that I always try to do, especially when I am out in public with my letters on, is to conduct myself in a manner that would not bring shame to my founders or those brothers who spent long hours and continue to this day to teach me what it means to be a man of Kappa.
Now am I perfect, heck no, far from it. But I try to live my life in a way that wouldn't bring shame to my family or my frat. I believe that is something that should be drilled into people who seek entrance into our organizations. I painstakinly stress it to the neos that come through my chapter.
I will pray for Jesse's family and that little girl who didn't ask to be a part of the messed up situation.
Peace and Luv
