Is hazing the best way?

[djpsk21]

I do hope everyone reading understands though I am in a position to affect change, I do not want to, nor have I intended to force change. This is something I have been entrusted with and in turn, I am looking for a way to create a program that can be agreed upon by the current brotherhood.

EE-BO, thank you for your latest post. It is much appreciated and I will be taking some time over the next few days to sit down with a committee I have recently formed and use what you have provided as a resource.

I hope everyone reading these posts understands that I did not turn solely to this forum looking for answers. The obvious players that should be brought into the conversation (current brothers, alumni, nationals, and other chapters) are all a part of my discussion. I was just trying to think outside the box for other answers or ideas. Thank you to everyone that sent me a PM...they have all been extremely helpful.

To the naysayers, I am sorry that you cannot see this as a positive change not just for this chapter, but for Greek life as a whole. This group is wanting to change their image for the better...again, an effort in which they should truly be commended.

To those that are in support of what this chapter is trying to accomplish and were able to offer valuable insight, thank you very much.

If you insist. What better way to show that the discussions with current brothers, alumni, national headquarters, and other chapters have failed/are failing than to come to GC for advice. A wealth of fraternity-based knowledge and experience going down the drain?

Glad your question was answered. Welcome to the real world of GC.
