It's all about the brotherhood.

It's a feeling...

Of something to strive for, be proud of.

Brotherhood is forever.

Lambda men are leaders, scholarly,

honorable and proud.

And sure it's rough.

That's the point.

After pledging,

a lambda man is ready for anything.

Only a chosen few make it

to the other side.

My pops couldn't finish.

I'm gonna see it through.

My nigga, stop spitting.

Yeah, we don't wanna get pulled over

for anything.

Man.

You a brave motherf***er.

Now get your brave ass out of here.
