True Health
Brothers who understand our Seven Core Values are often very good at applying them in their lives and externalizing them to the chapter or roles they play in their relationships with others. This is a very important part of our overall brotherhood development program.
The key to the True Health component is creating an understanding that the Core Values also apply directly to the individual brother and how he takes care of himself. A brother who is of sound mind and body is a brother who better leads by example and serves as a role model for other brothers to exemplify — upholding our motto of "being my brothers' brother."
The goal of the True Health Initiative is to provide guidance for our undergraduate brothers on addressing critical health issues that typically face college students. Our approach here is to provide factual, non-judgmental information, that is research supported and to provide behavioral change suggestions for helping our brothers address these issues. Brothers are encouraged to use their personal computers to explore these issue and encouraged to incorporate these health suggestions by setting personal goals, reflecting on each issue they choose to explore and to make meaning of this information as it pertains to their personal values and goals
The following topics and accompanying resources will provide information and assistance for our brothers who need help, support, or education with these topics.
