Ponder this.....

[Tom Earp]

SJones, a lot depends on the situation and circumstances and also the individual!

Was it a good break or bad? Was it financial, grades, etc.?

While this may be a little out of the box,

There was 2 posts on GC about a TKE Brother who met and went through School with, (Both are Alums ), who one needed a kidney transplant badly, the other Brother of TKE DONATED part of his to save His TKE Brothers Life.

That really says a lot to me!

Pledgeship is a learning process by which the Chapter and each new Associate find out about each other!

Every Rush Function, everyone is trying to be on the best behavior, but do you really find out about each other until you live and work together?

I guess taht is the question.

I know we try to teach My Brothers to Associate new young men who they feel will help the Chapter in many ways, Grades, Being Active, Responsible, or what ever is asked with in reason!

That is the Crux of the situation!

Every New Young Man we Associate, We want them to be Activated and be productive for the betterment of the Chapter and the Fraternity.
