Hey All,
First I think thank Ellen put this most eloquently. She
generally correct, but specifically Our founding was to set a standard of
manhood and to give people means to settle thier differences in means
other than war. Brother Horton felt that service was the best way to
achive this.

IMHO while the idea of a name change was well intentioned, it
seems to me to be a PC move. Why should we feel compeled to to change to
fit into the greek mainstream? Give the record of Auburn's social
fraternities that would be the last thing I would want here.
Thanks for the time.
