Founder's Day -- A reminder that we are still relevant?

What are we doing? What is this thing we are a part of? There are academics, national headquarters staff, writers, television hosts and professional speakers who are all paid for their professional opinion on the matter.

And you know what? They all have different answers. Many change their definition of fraternity and some of them even have trouble defining what fraternity is. (If you are going to recruit, you better shape up your answer...and don't just say: brotherhood. People benefit much more from your experiences than some generic answer.)

For 96 years, this fraternity has operated, succeeded, failed and, most importantly, continued on. This year alone we will take more new members than we had active just 8 short years ago! Our ideals are present in each chapter and we are growing. This semester we are working on chartering three colonies.

The question of relevancy is answered. Fraternity is relevant. People are joining us and there is an interest from campuses nationwide. But why? What is it that we offer and, as always, how can we improve with the times?

Happy Founder's Day, please take time to reflect and celebrate the ideals of this fraternity (and the men who brought this gift to you).

Here's brother Marpheen, Nu Xi, speaking about his why.

So here's another..
