The
Essence of being a Skeptron
Now, what are the building blocks of brotherhood/sisterhood?
There are ten of these in no particular order, selflessness, hospitality, protection, helpfulness, honesty, forgiveness,
accountability, honor, fun, and righteousness. Most, if not all, of these are self-explanatory. These are expected
of each brother no matter what. It is important that these are followed because if they are not the fraternity/sorority
will, after time, give way into chaos and will be destroyed. One must be careful not to fall into the traps of selfishness, prejudice,
arrogance, stupidity, hazing and pledging. Some times it may take some extra thinking, but in the end it is always
appreciated. After all, what comes around goes around.
Now that you the foundation of brotherhood/sisterhood, how
are you supposed to be a good "Skeptron"? Well, this is basically the same question as how do you be a good person?
The answer is simple: be thankful to others and don't forget to express it, be happy and not gloomy all the time, spend
time with your brothers/sisters and listen to them, apologize when you are wrong, be helpful to the chapter, and confront
a brother/sister who is in the wrong and give him/her your aid. These are the basic essentials to being a good "Skeptron". Now,
you may have noticed that the majority of these criteria have others as the main focal point. One very important
point is not to forget that true brotherhood extends to the brotherhood/sisterhood of all, and not just the fraternity/sorority.
