A new day has dawned for the upright man...

I heard the results of the Lambda Chi Alpha elections tonight - it seems Beal has been elected to be the new Alpha. Where once I might have grimaced at the thought, tonight I rejoice and give thanks. LCA is flushing itself down the toilet at Wake; there is no respect for tradition or the hard work of those who have gone before; there is no respect for the ritual; they don't care. Amidst that smog of brethren, there lie a few who still carry the torch of righteousness and Beal is one such brother. I hope and pray he can pull us out of this mire, this quicksand we have made for ourselves. For what they do, they do not only to themselves, but to all those whose sweat, blood, and tears built this chapter for them, and to all those who have yet to grace our hallowed halls. When I heard some of what is going on, I was incensed. I was filled with a deep sadness and a deep rage at the same time, frustrated because I can not do anything about it. But, neither is it my place anymore, regrettably. Time marches ever onward. Time has carried me away and the winds of change have blown Beal to this exalted position. May he remember our Lord's example of servant leadership. He will do well; he will triumph over debauchery; he will prevail against the forces of wickedness in high places. A new day has dawned for the upright man - may it be bright enough.
