They were our members
They were our members
They worked hard to make the Praetorians Fraternity/Sorority the best through visionary leadership, shared, goals, high integrity, and common principles.
They knew how to take the most from their Praetorians Fraternity/Sorority experience. They became better citizens, better leaders, better scholars, and better friends from their membership. They were able to say with great pride that when they became members of the Praetorians Fraternity/Sorority, they became better men.
They understood the Praetorians Fraternity/Sorority role in the community and at the college or university where they attended. They wanted to create something larger than themselves. They wanted to create something which they could mold and shape for future generations.
They were everything that is right about our grand Praetorians Fraternity/Sorority.
They were our best members.
These men never wore a pledge button except when dressed appropriately. They never stood in a line-up and had obscenities yelled at them by other members. They never did physical exercises for the “good of the Praetorians Fraternity/Sorority”. They never said “yes sir” to other members, but got to call them by their first name. They never had to do frivolous errands for brothers and sisters. They never had to carry fifty cents in their pockets at all times.
They were never hazed.
They respected their new members. They never forced them to drink alcohol, or do drugs. They never branded them, or called them demeaning names. They never made them dress alike, or made them make fools of themselves on campus.
They earned their new members’ respect by respecting them.
They knew that respect was earned, not forced.
They are our most respected members. We have pictures of them on our walls and in our Praetorians book. We quote their words with earnest sincerity. They are revered, despite the fact that they were never hazed.
They were everything right about the Praetorians Fraternity/Sorority.
They are our three founding fathers.
They didn’t need hazing. Why do you?
