What if Deans’ & Nationals’ Solutions for Fraternities are Actually Making Problems Worse?

What if the Only Solution Proven to Work Is Not Even Being Considered?

What if the increasingly strident restrictions imposed by deans and Nationals to improve fraternity House safety are having the opposite effect? What if their good intentions have been producing inarguably bad results for two decades? What if there was a longproven model, underpinned by core psychology dogma, to keep Houses safe while allowing Brothers to grow into principled men together, testing boundaries, and having the kind of epic adventures men whisper about in old age? What if that long-proven (and now abandoned) model was the key to sparking the unique Bond of Brotherhood, the key to grooming worthy leaders, and the core mission making fraternities different from clubs?

We can save the American college fraternity from itself, from its deans, from its Nationals, and from a tragic spiral of Pledge deaths and injury.

The only solution proven to work is the only solution not being considered: the core mission of any worthy fraternity House –

P R WTAODESMOS “First, The Bond�

We break the dues-based, growth-focused corporate franchise model of current IFC fraternities – obsession with membership growth necessarily degrades quality – and quality is paramount. No Nationals, ever – we return the House, the Brothers, their Pledges, and their Alumni to local control. Frexit. Nationals have repeatedly proven over the last decade that they cannot be trusted to protect and preserve what every Brother knows is valuable and unique in fraternity culture – the Bond of Brotherhood, the process that sparks that Bond, and importantly the internal prospective risk management & the leadership academy that we show results from that unique Bond.

We move fraternity Houses off-campus from flagship State Universities, outside the duty & control of overzealous deans who have long exceeded their legal authority by protecting their own corporate brands instead of protecting the traditions of a quality higher education, including a diverse marketplace of ideas.

We return fraternity Houses to their necessary origins as secret societies and to their post World War II role as leadership academies for the very best of the best collegiates a State has to offer. The next-generation leaders of a State are mostly drawn from in-State graduates of its flagship public university – having benefitted from the rigor of solid academics, the lasting contacts and friendships, the inspiration for lifelong betterment, the grounding local roots, and the aspiration to a personal mission for living a significant life, instilled by the unique opportunity to be truly educated rather than just trained.

From within a proven program 2,500 years old, we invest heavily in collegiate males already best prepared to succeed. The two percent of American men who joined fraternities after winning World War II left campus after Commencement and disproportionately rebuilt America into the most prosperous, most powerful, most free nation in world history. Two percent can do that again - boldly, brashly, and with a proven, safe, and well-trodden path to follow.

Help us resurrect a safe but burnishing fraternity experience for your sons, for your sons’ sons, and for America. Click below for more information. Chapter EBoard Members & local Alumni Board Members can write us for a full briefing on our plan under an NDA.
