"Honor through Integrity"

Man .. you'd think that would mean something wouldn't you?   But what if this is a group's cute tag line .. motto' .. and simply not true?

What if that group has people in it's ranks expelled from other organizations?  Banned?  Actual Crooks that stole, but were allowed to leave without charges sending them to Jail?

Maybe the original group that didn't send any of the clowns to Jail, is the one with Integrity? 

When a club claims to have "honor" and "integrity," it goes beyond just having these words in their motto or mission statement. Here's a deeper look at what these qualities mean in the context of a club:

Honor:

• High Ethical Standards: Members are expected to act with fairness, honesty, and respect towards each other, the club's leadership, and anyone they interact with in the context of the club. This includes things like avoiding cheating in competitions, being truthful when representing the club, and treating fellow members with respect even during disagreements.
• Strong Moral Compass: The club upholds a set of values that emphasize doing the right thing, even when it's difficult. This could involve standing up for what's right, even if it's unpopular, or taking responsibility for mistakes.
• Respect for Tradition: The club may have a rich history and traditions that are valued and honored by members. This could involve participating in certain rituals or events, or upholding certain standards established by past members.

Integrity:

• Consistency between Words and Actions: The club's leadership and members act in accordance with the stated values and principles. There's no hypocrisy or double standards.
• Transparency and Accountability: Decisions are made fairly and openly, and members are held accountable for their actions. There's a willingness to admit mistakes and work to correct them.
• Focus on Doing What's Right: The club prioritizes its core values and principles over personal gain or expediency. They are not easily swayed by pressure to compromise their integrity.

Signs a Club Truly Embraces Honor and Integrity:

• Strong Code of Conduct: The club has a clear set of rules and expectations for member behavior, emphasizing fairness, respect, and ethical conduct.
• Emphasis on Character Development: The club may have activities or programs that focus on building strong character and ethical decision-making skills in its members.
• Willingness to Address Issues: If there are instances of unethical behavior, the club takes them seriously and takes appropriate action to address them. This could involve mediation, sanctions, or even expulsion of members who violate the code of conduct.
• Positive Reputation: The club is known for its positive and ethical culture, respected by other clubs and organizations in the community.

Remember: Actions speak louder than words. It's great for a club to claim honor and integrity, but what truly matters is how these principles are reflected in the everyday behavior of its members and leadership.
