balanced man vs traditional

[tnalpha13]

Traditional fraternity allows the real FRATERNITY experience. We were founded on one main principle: Brotherly Love. This is not shown through the majority of BMPS. Traditional chapters allow brothers to become best friends through pledging. Pledging is what makes a fraternity in my opinion. It forms the pledges into a better man. BMPS do not allow this. They truly do not understand. Come to a traditional Sig Ep fraternity, and you will see the difference. I know all the brothers in my fraternity, and became close to them through my trials in pledging. A pledge in my chapter in my opinion is more a brother than "balance men" at other schools. This is based on the fact that these guys have to know the history of our fraternity, and they have to earn a spot to be called a Sig Ep. I do not like handing out bids left and right (and getting initiated on the spot) It can ruin a fraternity, because you let in guys that do not know why we have these princples founded by Ashton, Gaw, Phiilips, Carter, Wallace, Wright, and Jenkins. The reason I am upset about BM is because of that. I am a proud memeber of a traditional chapter, and when I see BM brothers at other schools. I have a hard time believing they earned the right to be called my brother, because they do not have any idea why I went through in order to be come a brother. Brotherhood is what Sig Ep needs. Not balance man.
