Do Unto Brothers…

tumblr_ljke9queKP1qeajuwo1_400We post this message to encourage Brothers to “Do Unto Brothers, as you would have them do unto you.”

Far too frequently in our reclamation conversations it is concluded that we lose Brothers due to inconsiderate and inconsistent behavior within “The House.”

Brothers frequently speak of times when they are in need and seek aid from within the Brotherhood, and unfortunately Brothers are slothful in their response or not responsive at all.

In dialogue with Chapter Officers, Brothers lament over the lack of support of Chapter Programs; however it seems they rarely consider how frequently they support other Chapters and directly invite Brothers to participate.

Brothers we must understand being a Brother takes effort. It requires thoughtful consideration to the needs of those within “The House” and looking upon those needs, as we would our own. There are those who are looking for jobs, housing, transitioning from college to alumni life and doing it all on their own. Unfortunately, all of these situations may cause Brothers to become detached – and when a Brother struggles in isolation to meet life’s needs, the Fraternal bond weakens.

If “Us, We, Ours, Together” no longer makes a viable impact, then the “I, Me, Mine ” mentality thrives. Brothers it is incumbent upon all of us to “Do unto Brothers, as you would have them do unto you.” If you can find time to call when you are in need, find time to call when you are not. If you can request money, find ways to assist in earning money or aiding in the reduction of expenses. If you can request service, then be of service.

You are encouraged to make that next step in our Alpha Development and always “Do Unto Brothers, as you would have them do unto you.”
