I started classes and work again today. Yaaaay. Seriously, I don't know how well I can handle another quarter of going to work at 7:30 in the morning and getting back at 7:30 at night, then starting DB and homework. That's rough. I guess I'll have it worse for Law School next year though. Might as well start getting used to it.

Rush week for the Fraternity this week. Fun fun fun. We did send 3 guys that 
I don't like much to Judicial for not making grades. That's good news.  

Work sucks.

Well -- it is no longer that time of year, and people need to start getting back to work. I expect to see reports on time and I want to see a lot of activity coming from both sides of the db, leaders and members.

We have a good opportunity this year to do some great things, so let's do 
it!

Thanks to everyone who came to the State of the Brotherhood. The speech really helped me to see that yes, we have come a long way so far, and yes, we do have a long way to go. I was also glad to rid myself of some secrets. I like things out in the open.

I have posted the speech at

Enjoy! (the log after wasn't posted due to there only being 2-3 questions)

Each week I will be giving an update on Rebirth. It will say what we have accomplished and what we will be working on the next week.

This week, Cybey and Jam3z made some great progress on the new site. They 
created a base for the logins, and started the dossiers. Further -- they 
made a really nifty toy that lets you see who was logged into the site in 
the past 20 min :)  

I'll have a lot more next week.
