Friendship: A Cardinal Principle |
|
Brotherhood is the spirit of friendship. It implies
respect, honesty, and dependability. It means that we overlook
differences and emphasize similarities as we join together in unselfish
service. It means listening to brothers whose views on issues
might be different from our own. It means working closely with
people whom under other circumstances we might not choose to be friends
with. Being a friend can oftentimes be rather difficult. We have to work each and every day to be more understanding, compassionate, welcoming, and trusting. The chapter fellowship program works to strengthen the bonds between members. A fellowship event can vary from something like a formal or dinner, to something more casual like getting together to watch a movie or play a game after a service project. The success of a chapter really falls to the success of the fellowship program. Brothers remain active when these sorts of interactions are arranged. "The surest way to have a friend, is to be a friend." |
