Shame on a Brother

Shame on a Brother who pledges his all

but commits the cardinal sin,

for he is not an asset to the organization

the organization is an asset to him.

Shame on a Brother who does no work

to help his chapter build,

but sit in his blue room with blue lights,

on his blue bed drinking blue juice wearing his blue letters, he chills.

Shame on a Brother who shows no shame

and learns to live with the stigma,

Sigma taught him all he knows about time value

now he has no time for Sigma.

Shame on a Brother who is a member, but not active

and does not realize what's at stake

for when too many Brothers lean on the shield,

the shield will eventually break.

Shame on a Brother for he is not a true Brother

when most needed, his pledging stopped.

There is no difference between an unactive Brother

and another who pledged and dropped.
