Why a fraternity?

So. It's been 40 years since I've been initiated as a brother into the Delta Chi Fraternity. I occasionally get the question, "You're not the typical fraternity type. Why did you join one?"

( The short answer: I wanted brothers. )

Recently, fraternities and sororities have come under fire, especially when one of them makes the news as a result of an alcohol abuse incident, a sexual abuse incident, or a hazing incident. We've been fighting that battle since I first joined, and we're still fighting it now, 40 years later.
