Just my thoughts on Risk Management.

[AEKDB5DGMXX]

I have just a few comments on risk management which, of course, you are free to consume/exhume as you desire.

1. I have to believe that Most GLOs were founded originally before most of us were born. (of course I'm only 34)

2. Our founders more than likely found value in their association as friends and sought to strengthen that bond with an organization.

3. They probably put together a very meaningful and solemn ceremony for the initiation of new members.

4. They probably DID NOT include beatings or torment of the soon to be members in their programs.

5. The ceremony and "pledgeship" was probably based on a virtuous or noble precept.

And so it is very likely that if there is a Risk Management issue in your chapter, it is because somebody has not been properly educated in the history and real tradition of the organization. Tradition is NOT "what happened to me".

I have to guess that if we all truely live by our oaths, risk management issue will be a thing of the past.

Thank you PnguinTrax,

It just seems to me that we have a choice.
1. We can spend our time whining about all the people who put us down.
2. We can look within at what we can do to asure that they have no reason to put us down.

Folks very rarely bash the organizations that are busy doing good for the community. They have no reason to bash the groups focus on sound principles like scholarship, leadership, fellowship and service to others.

Our GLOs were founded on these principles and we can only prosper if we uphold them.
