A problem
Let me premise this post by saying I am from a BMP chapter in the mid-west...
Ok, here's my issue...
Does anyone else have a problem with the BMP being based on an insurance policy. If you all didn't know, that's what it is based upon, you can look it up if you think otherwise. Originally there were a few fraternities who wanted to reduce the liability for thier chapters, of course having a chapter with no hazing, trying to promote a dry house would mean virtually no liability. I get more skeptical each year concerning the BMP. At it's heart, it's basically a marketing/business ploy enabled to allow nationals to decrease thier liability and make the Greek system look better in the eyes of "authority" whoever that may be. It seems like the fraternity is operating under a facade..saying it increases brotherhood blah blah blah all these other positive aspects while totally not taking into account it's true goal, again originally enacted to reduce liability.
Also I have a problem with the traditional chapters being neglected like they are second rate.
Remember that membership quiz thing online from last year, does anyone know if results were posted, I think it would be interesting to compare satisfation amongst BMP vs traditional chapters and see if it is actually working as they say or if they are just making baseless claims.
I don't know what to think, I guess it may just be the litigation happy society, as other fraternities are embracing similar programs (Beta Man of Principle and SAE True Gentlemen)
Sorry if some of this is going off on tangents, it's just some venting...feedback appreciated
