The Next Greatest Generation

I am convinced that the next Greatest Generation may well be today's youth.
As substantiating information for this view, I just got back from the ΣΦΕ Exec and Chapter meetings in Athens (UGA). My SigEps took top honors at homecoming as the best frat and Brother Davis Webb was the homecoming king. I am so proud to be the Chapter Counselor for these 125 fantastics young men, ages 17 to 21. Like me, they have a "D" after their name (Δ) which could stand for "Different" like mine. They are indeed a different type of fraternity that disavows pledging and paddling and pranking. To them, alcohol consumption and sexual prowess are not the role nor the goal of their brotherhood. They craft a staged approach to developing a Balanced Man. They go through four stages of growth from knowing thyself, to knowing your brothers, to knowing the community, to knowing their life role and mentoring others.
Their 3.41 grade point average points to their heads, and their top dollars raised in Philantrophy points to their hearts. But in their prayer to close the meeting tonight in which they asked only for others points to their good soul.

For District 25 contestants, at my request, they prayed that the best man win the election on Tuesday November 8th.
