Perfect World

In a perfect fraternal world:

• Fraternity men and women will be models of excellence and true values congruence
• Fraternity men and women will be committed to serving the community and the world
• Fraternal organizations will be ones that only the finest men and women will be selected to join
• Fraternity will redefine the mean of social on college campuses and truly build men and women of character
• The fraternal cause will no longer be about the undergraduate experience alone, but a life experience that begins as an undergraduate
• Fraternity is not about the Greek letters, but about being a part of a community of people with unique but similar visions and beliefs in creating the finest world citizens

Too often we have the ability to make change but we choose not to because change is not easy. As college students, we have the attitude that our contributions are small but this is not true. The fraternal experience has the potential to transform lives. If we live by our values as fraternity men and women, we can achieve greatness in a world that's skeptical of us. 

Fraternity men and women will be men and women of selfless-service. Greeks will no longer write checks and call it serving the community. Men and women of character will make the sacrifice of time, pleasures, and comforts to serve greater causes.

Membership should no longer be extended to anyone willing to pay dues. Joining a Greek organization should be selective and exclusive. While the fraternal organization should be in the business of building young men and women, the men and women must also bring something to the table besides a checkbook. Recruitment should never again be a struggle, because college men and women will come to us, not the other way around. Greek life will be a lifestyle that non-Greek yearn for, not avoid.

Greek life will redefine the social life on college campuses. Young men and women will be transformed through social experiences with brothers and sisters not through the party scene. Social scene will not be an exemption from values, in fact, the social scene should be a testament of values congruence.

Greek life will no longer be about the collegiate experience, but about a life transformation. Graduated brothers and sisters should no longer say "I was a brother". Instead "I am a brother". After all, these are lifetime commitments, aren't they?

The fraternal community can no longer be a community based on competition for membership. Each organization brings something unique to the table. Going Greek should be about finding the right match for the individual. The Greek experience should be a pleasant experience, and not fitting in the right organization, is the worst scenario. Being Greek should be a source of pride and we should be proud of our whole community, not just the letters we wear. 

Change is happening!
