Brotherhood issues!

[KuThetaChi]

Ok I need honest help and opinions from you. While being one of the best houses on campus in grades, sports, social, campus involvment, etc. I feel that our overall brotherhood is lacking. After consulting with other brothers about there opinions I found the same thing time and time again. I decided to send an e-mail to the list serve to one explain the problem, and two state that we should plan a brotherhood retreat (if our IFC looked at NPC on campus we would be better for it). I stated that the house has on average 3 types of brothers you can use the Hero, Nero, and Zero model for this. The Hero brother pays dues timelyor is on a payment plan, attends chapter as frequently as he can (class/work excluded) and always trys to do extra for the house. Brother Nero while paying dues and coming to chapter doesn't really do anything extra (maybe to busy maybe not?) Like Nero watching Rome burn he doesn do much else, and finally Brother Zero he maybe pays dues maybe doesn't, always makes social always is at the party, but never has time to help the chapter he will graduate (or not) and fade into oblivian. I went on to state that its quite possible that each one reading this did not fit into a mold that maybe there descrip. was different, but that no matter what brother you are that you can tell that overall brotherhood is lacking. I know I at times am Nero, just as when I step up to do something I'm Hero, I however will never be Zero...

I went on to state that we should have a Brotherhood Retreat and focus on why we are all here, what Theta Chi stands for, what our goals are, etc. We set up a commitee or I set one up to discuss where/when we could do this. I tried to explain to those on it that this wasn't about personal recognition just about stronger brotherhood.

Anyways long story short I guess it pissed off alot of people... and at the same point I know alot wished they could have said it but did not have the nerve (including a senior). What are ways to help get these guys to realize that the main reason we are at Theta Chi is brotherhood and not just sports or social that all that should come naturally once our brotherhood is strong?
