Don't assume you know it already.  This common mistake holds us back, time and time again.  We get comfortable with what we know about something, and assume that's all there is to know about it.  But by doing this, we often miss out on valuable information that would otherwise help us.  So, don't pass by something just because you think you know it already.  Instead, take a look and you just

Why you should care Note: This is part one of a two part series on brotherhood. "A fraternity is an association of men, selected in their college days by a democratic process, because of their adherence to common ideals and aspirations." - Newton D.

Setting Your Chapter Up for Success! Over the last few weeks we have all been witness to what the media has dubbed "the Transition to Power" of President-elect Barrack Obama. Whether you agree with his politics or not, you can surely appreciate the great care that both the incoming and outgoing administrations are taking in order to have a seamless change of power. This is very important for a

Being a leader isn't always easy. Leadership can be a lonely place. The decisions you make won't always be popular. But making the right decision is always the best choice. Leaders who make the right choice are always more respected in the end than those who make the popular choice.

A simple thought Graduate Relations can be easier than you think! Graduates want to connect with each other and relive old memories. So plan your graduate events around this thought.

Being a Leader in your chapter without having a Title James Dean was a rebel without a cause, Tom Petty wrote about a rebel without a clue, and while you may have a cause and a clue - you just don't have a title! There are guys in every chapter with this problem: They want to be a leader. They know they are a leader and can do a good job. But they haven't been recognized as one yet. You may be
