“The Fraternal Order of Eagles, Philippine Eagles Inc.” is built on the spirit of volunteerism, brotherhood, service, and commitment. While no one is forced to join, becoming a member is a personal choice made with honor and sincerity. By signing up for membership, every Eagle not only gains the privilege of belonging to the fraternity, but also accepts the responsibilities that come with it.

Being a volunteer does not mean participation is only convenient when time permits. Membership carries a pledge — a commitment to uphold the principles, values, constitution, and objectives of the organization. It means being willing to support the fraternity through active participation, cooperation, respect for leadership, unity among members, and service to the community whenever possible.

As Eagles, we are expected to contribute not only our presence, but also our time, effort, ideas, and support for the betterment of the organization and the people we serve. Responsibility as a member includes attending meetings and activities, promoting camaraderie, protecting the good name of the fraternity, and living by the ideals of “Service Through Strong Brotherhood.”

For example, in a WhatsApp group chat created for official communication, announcements, coordination, and fraternity discussions, every member is encouraged to participate in one way or another. Participation does not always mean being active every hour, but at least showing acknowledgment, responding when necessary, reacting to important announcements, or supporting activities and events whenever possible.

If a member consistently remains inactive, never responds, never reacts, and never participates in discussions or activities for a long period of time, despite repeated reminders and opportunities, the organization may decide to remove that member from the group chat out of fairness and practicality. This action should not be taken as personal hatred or disrespect, but rather as part of maintaining active communication and responsible membership within the fraternity.

Furthermore, issues that may result in misunderstandings, conflicts, arguments, or unnecessary tension among members should always be discussed through the proper and appropriate channels. Members are encouraged to observe professionalism, respect, and fraternity decorum in all communications. Public confrontations, disrespectful exchanges, or creating division within the group chat are strongly discouraged. Any violation of these guidelines may result in appropriate action, disciplinary measures, or removal from the group chat in order to maintain unity, order, and a healthy communication environment within the organization.

We must understand that communication platforms are created for unity, coordination, and participation. If someone chooses not to engage at all, even minimally, then it becomes difficult to fulfill the purpose of the group. As members, we should also respect decisions made for the welfare and functionality of the organization.

True brotherhood is not only about carrying the name of an Eagle, but also about participating, communicating, supporting one another, and sharing responsibility in strengthening the fraternity.
