Wow! Can I identify with you — except about being High Rho (which I realize is THE POINT of your message here). Firt of all, I’m long-winded too, and often find it difficult to hold to the K.I.S.S. principle (Keep It Short & Simple). Go to my blogspot, http://glenalans.blogspot.com for verification of my long-windedness!

But when you speak of how you “fell in love with our ritual” and nominated your self for High Phi — well, that’s me! It was years ago that I served for two years as High Phi for Epsilon-Gamma Zeta at Univ. of Idaho. But the memories of that blessed ritual and how it helped me grow in my understanding of basic Christian and New Testament teachings, is still fresh!

And strangely en’uf, before I served my two years as High Phi, I served as High Kappa, which office you also mention. That one was a natural for me, since I was an education major — which is probably why it was the first office for which the brothers nominated me and in which I served during my undergraduate years.

But still, our RITUAL! How blessed I was to serve as High Phi at E-G Zeta! How blessed I was to experience the Ritual again at a General Assembly held at Nashville’s Opryland Hotel in the 1980s! And how blessed I was to experience it again at the colony at Austin Peay State Univ. in Clarksville, Tennessee, in the late 1990s!

Didn’t I say I, too, was long-winded?

Yours in ZAX,
