Mini blog #3 Loyalty

This country was built on ideal closely related to loyalty, brotherhood, and honor. There is no place that those three maxims are ever present than in Greek organizations, alias fraternities. The interesting things about loyalty is that if you are loyal to one thing, you cannot, by DEFINITION, be loyal its opposite. In any group of humans, there will be differing beliefs and affiliations and there is a fine line that gets drawn when you decide which ones you ascribe to. The trick of it all is to be able to respect loyalty as a stand alone quality as opposed to judging the thing that a person is being loyal to. Try not to take people to task simply because they are not being loyal to that thing that YOU believe in.

Recently I have seen brother disagree and then have their loyalty to the fraternity questioned because they believe in something different. many situations and in different organizations too. People are quick to call your loyalty into question the minute you offer a differing opinion.
