balanced man vs traditional

In my chapter, we don't receive our letters until Phi Rite of Passage. It doesn't make sense to wear something if you don't know what it means, you know? They can't wear the Founders' Badge until Epsilon Rite.

I'm glad my chapter does it this way. It really builds a respect for the letters and the Fraternity. Since my chapter was very pledgey all the way into the beginning of this decade, the alumni totally agree with it. Pledging definitely has its perks, so we kind of adopt of few of them.

The BMP is perfect on paper but I think it's up to each chapter to take it, make it their own, and run with whatever works.

Yeah we don't let our guys wear the badge until they have been through Epsilon either. I'm going through sometime here in the next few weeks so I'm really excited about it. I would like to revamp our Bro Dev a bit, have them wait til Phi to get letters so maybe they would feel the same way you know?...we'll see how that goes though, some of the older bros are stubborn and new ideas bounce right off of them :/
