Power Paradigm #1: Fraternities and sororities are a movement to promote ideals and provide values. In response to: Fraternities and sororities are just campus clubs like any other. Years ago, I heard someone refer to Greek life as the “fraternity movement.” It’s a pretty common phrase now. And – it’s a very powerful perspective. Movements are big things that create transformational change. That’s a far cry from being just a bunch of clubs with meetings and parties. If Greek life is a movement, to what end? Movements have to try and do something. In my opinion, ours is a movement intent on promoting lofty ideals in order to raise their importance in society. We proudly promote ideals like leadership, service, kindness, intellectual curiosity and excellence in order to build up their relevance. However, promoting ideals is not enough. We are also a movement that provides values to a world that hungers for them. As members, we are called to live by high standards and exceptional values. If each of us does that, then we become the literal embodiment of these values and simply our presence in the world makes it better. The more of us there are (the greater our movement spreads) then more we crowd out negative forces like corruption, unethical behavior, and selfishness. Soon, if we do it correctly, our world is driven by the very values we have taken oaths to uphold. That’s a movement!
