I'm gone for a minute, and the ball is in my court, here's the shot...
I do agree that the brotherhood is the foundation, but that is not social. Brotherhood runs far deeper than the meaning of the word social. Brotherhood encompasses being there for one another at the drop of a hat, regardless of time or situation. True brotherhood also goes without saying. I stress community service because the brotherhood of my chapter has always been an unspoken rule, gospel if you will. And if you are implying that I skated then I would tell you to meet me at my yard and look at me and my LB's and say that we skated. My veins pump Black and Old Gold, and I will uphold the light of Alpha until the day that I cease to exist. Now I myself find skating deplorable because I have met skaters of all the orgs and their 'hood just isn't there. They can't sing the hymn, engage in the chants, or talk about the love because the majority of the ones I have encountered do not posess it. My friend who is a Sigma dropped some knowledge on me once, he said of a skater he met, "yeah, he's a Sigma but he ain't my brother or my frat!"
