program which promotes gentleman ship manner, athletic and social
achievement, along with a strong feeling of pride and unity.
PGBI
are looking for the brightest,
strongest, and most responsible young men to share the wealth of our
organization. Of the many things you will enjoy as a member here, is
the opportunity to further develop:
Leadership
Skills - Become an officer and
learn to deal with diverse genre of people. Becoming a leader in the
PGBI GUARDIANS movement involves the ability to lead people that are
your age or older and may or may not be like you. Handling a diverse
motivational model and succeeding is a skill that any Guardians will
need to be a successful officer.
Gentlemanly
Conduct - Perhaps chivalry is
dead in every other part of the world, but not here. We believe that
no excuse exists for poor conduct in the presence of others. Do you
rise to shake hands? Stand when a woman enters the room? Know that
turning your fork tines down is a sign that your meal is not yet
finished? You will.
Re-Academic
Success - We expect our members
to have an academic wisdom, however, brothers are always available to
help each other succeed in their undergraduate endeavors. We may
conduct brotherly tutoring at request.
Athletics
– Guardians is not a
social-athletic club, but every man appreciates physical fitness and
good competition that regular athletic participation commands.
Social
Skills - The ability to network
is as imperative in the job market as it is in every social arena.
Learning how to better communicate with women / or prospective
colleagues is a skill set that requires practice every day.
The
aforementioned are traits that we can help to develop, however, if no
skill in the above areas exists; perhaps a different organization may
better suit you. Guardians’ life at PGBI is not for everyone;
however, if you feel you are willing to take on the challenge to reap
the ultimate reward, let us know who you are.
