The international headquarters is located at 3951 Snapfinger Parkway Decatur

2. • Our mottos are, “Lifting as we climb” and “Friendship is essential to
the soul”.
• We are an organization that brings men of like ideals together into
one union in order to actively and effectively have a positive impact
on our surrounding community.
• We are an organization that strives to help any and everyone in our
surrounding community.
• We do this so that everyone who is within our reach can benefit from
the work we do.

3. • I chose this organization because I am a member of this fraternity,
and I wanted to share all of the good things that we do for our fellow
man.
• Yes, we use several forms of new media to perform task that where
done differently before the existence of the internet.

All in all, the organization uses these tools to keep the outside population up to date on
events past, present, and future.
• Before these forms of new media, word of mouth and a magazine known as the “Oracle”
which is still in use today were the ways people stayed up to speed on events that the
fraternity held as important and noteworthy.

5. • These forms of new media have been very successful in helping
uphold our mission of uplifting the community.
• We had a need very early on in our history to get our goal of bringing
up members of our community up to a higher standard in society.
Things like these new media tools have helped show what we have
done, what we are doing, and what we plan to do. In this way we can
continue to gain interest and grow and help people.

6. Strengths and Weaknesses
• Strengths: We utilize many of the new media tools at our disposal.
• Weaknesses: However, the tools that we use in the fraternity as a whole
are sometimes not updated frequently enough or display unwanted
messages.
• I want to try to get all of the fraternities’ main accounts updated more
frequently so that people are not behind on information, and somehow
have a screening processes for what people put up on the internet that
represents our organization.
