Teach a Man to Fish
Hello. My name is Patrick Harper… and I’m addicted to Lamba Chi Alpha.
I’m doing my best not to let it consume me to the point that I completely ignore other facets of my life. School for one. But when I ran for the office of High Kappa I never in my wildest dreams imagined that it would get into my blood like this. And the new Kappa, AM, and Big Brother manuals that HQ put out as part of the True Brother initiative are like Kappa Crack Cocaine. I can’t put them down!
See, here’s the thing. At first I expected to have a dozen or so AMs to educate on the history of Lambda Chi Alpha. I was going to give them what they needed, teach them the creed, show them the crest, go through the timeline and then shuffle them off to Initiation and call it a day. Now I realize my duty is to instill the ideals of this blessed Brotherhood into sixty young men so that every minute of every day the actions of every Brother shine with the immutable principles on which we were founded and on which we still stand today. The time has come to truly make good men great, and great men excellent.
So… I gotta go. I’ve got programming to plan and lesson plans to write. There’s manuals to be read and meetings to schedule. I need dates, times, locations, speakers. No time to waste, we’ve got leaders to mold boys! I’ve got a Brotherhood in one hand, fourteen great possibilities in the other, a Ped. under one arm, a lamp under the other, a world full of stress, a mind full of ideas, and a heart full of fire. It’s time to Do Work!
And in the words of Brother Chesney… I’ve never wanted nothing more!
