"Paddles"

[Tom Earp]

LXA was the first to out law hazing!!

LXA also out lawed Pledges! Became New Associates!

LXA Was the first to out law Paddles Sign of Hazing!

Why was the major queston from many members especially my Chapter who had each class make a paddle with the names of the class tht did it! They hang with honor in our House and will for many years to come!

But, with RISK Management, (INSURANCE COSTS) it was outlawed!Why, Hazing and the symbol that it represented! What do you or how do you spank someone with a 5 ft paddle!

What a sad shame that when Brothers come down to the House, they want to show their children "Their Paddle", with the Class and all of the names on them!

We are not the ones who want to be PC Correct, but the rest of the world wants us to be!

Well fellow Greeks this is what it has become because of stupidity!!!

I see the slippery slope arguement and PCness has become a classic. This is all rumor, so we don't really know if it is gonna happen. However, they don't just decide something at NPC, correct me if I'm wrong, but our organizations have a say. So in essence, we have a say. Voice your opinion. But does changing a word really change a tradition?
