"I can't really explain brotherhood, yet I know distinctly what it is. The first few weeks I was unsure how this semester would shake out. Meeting other young men so different in every aspect of life and they wanted us to become "brothers." I was really unsure that I would become best friends with these guys like [the actives] said I would. Now in my pledge class was a guy I hated in high school; now we are best friends. . .Several of my pledge brothers have suffered many trying times with family, school, girls, etc., and watching the way the rest of us pick that person up every time he falls down blows me away. . . .When I look at brotherhood I see my pledge class distinctly, and when I look at my pledge class I see Brotherhood. A wise man once said: "If you fall down six times, stand up seven." Sometimes when people fall down then need a little help from their Brothers!"
