Amen, amen, amen.
Tenacity, hard work, all that.
A few of my "organization-minded" friend always ask me "Don't you want to be in the Boule/Sigma Pi Phi?"
And I tell them "What can the Boule do for me that I can't do for myself?"

My dad, your fraternity brother is in the Boule... Whereas, IMO, your Fraternity (like my Sorority for me), can give you the hardwork and impetus to "BE" that difference, the Boule (and maybe the Links for me) is the networking or connection driver to see that enacted.
Some of father's business deals happened because of members of the Boule assisted him...
Not everyone needs all these things. But to be in a "high stakes game" you will have to ante up. This game is "high stakes" as much as they make you pay to be in the Boule...

That is some truth! My dad has been in the Boule since I was 6.... and that is where the other part of the movers and shakers reside in my town.
I agree with your thought about the "game", AKAMonet... so true!

You know it is so funny, but the folks that "poo-poohed" the Boule, always come craning around for money when they need some...
I mean, I might have to sell my "Trolls Be Gone, apply directly to Head" spray to the Boule folks...

I can agree with that. I haven't seen the benefit of such orgs for people who identify with careers in the arts, like me.
