Traditional is definitely that way to go. It also gets you alot more respect from other fraternities. Everyone thinks of BM chapters as like insta-brothers. I don't know, personally I think the whole idea of pledging is the basis of a fraternity. Otherwise it almost seems to border on social club. It teaches respect, responsibility, and it bring you alot closer together, especially with your pledge brothers. I am so glad South Carolina is traditional. It makes you feel like you earned your spot in the fraternity, you deserve to be there. All of you guys in a BMP chapter, don't trash traditional until you've been apart of one. Also like transfering school to school. It would be weird if I transfered to a BMP chapter. One, I could be a junior and I would be totally out of sync with the whole "levels" thing. especially since I would have been a brother for 2 years so its not like i would just be starting out. One more thing, I think I can speak for everyone in a traditional chapter here, if i was to transfer, and the chapter at the new school was BMP. I would have a big problem with that, because you would definitely feel like you have more right than anyone to be apart of the fraternity because you had to earn your way in, and all these people your with just signed a piece of paper... Oh well. hopefully USC will stay traditional for as long as possible, hell nationals is even giving us an awesome new house. We have the highest GPA on campus, like 80 brothers, won IM's 6-7 times out of the last 10 years and are about to win again. Things are looking pretty good.
