Every fraternity talks about brotherhood. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have such a strong brotherhood.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBrotherhood is our top priority.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

But what is brotherhood? Why does it matter? Why do we always talk about it?<\/span><\/p>\n

Brotherhood is the glue the binds the house together. It\u2019s what drives us support each other in all of our activities outside the house. It\u2019s what makes it okay to express ourselves. It\u2019s what makes memories. It\u2019s what is behind every smile. It\u2019s what makes lifelong friends. It\u2019s what makes brothers.<\/span><\/p>\n

In my fraternity, Beta Theta Pi, brotherhood is something we hold above many things. The bond I have with my brothers is so strong that I know it will last long after we all graduate and part ways.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to talk about brotherhood. Not because it\u2019s a difficult topic, but because you don\u2019t talk about brotherhood, you show it. Sometimes, brotherhood is more like a feeling than some type of display.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s what we feel when we are having a bad day and talk about it with one of our brothers. We talk for hours and hours about everything and anything, no matter the time of day.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s what we feel when we spend a weekend night playing video games and watching weird Youtube videos.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s what we feel when we just hop in the car and go for a drive for a little while, just quietly enjoying each other’s presence. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s what we feel when we\u2019re all watching a movie and heckling the plot and characters.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s\u2026 brotherhood.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
