AEPi Guided Good and Welfare How to run and Good and Welfare virtually and relevant
What is Good and Welfare? Good and Welfare (G&W) is a program that is aimed to bond with your fellow Brothers. It is in the style of a group therapy session, that serves as a way to express feelings in a safe place. This is a staple of every single chapter in AEPi and differentiates the Brotherhood from just any old organization or business.
At the end of every chapter meeting (and whenever else it is deemed necessary), it is customary to pass a gavel around the room and give each member the floor to speak freely about anything that has been going on since the previous Good and Welfare. How to hold a G&W? Typically, Brothers speak about the good in their life like significant accomplishments or fun events they have attended recently, as well as some negatives like a tough exam or your favorite team losing this week.
How are we holding G&W? Continued The traditional G&W is started when you place the gavel over your heart, stand up, and recite: For the Good and Welfare of the __ Chapter/colony of the Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity, Brother Master and Brothers here assembled, I hereby give my Good and Welfare. You can then speak freely, and when finished you should say, And with that I yield.
