Reclaiming Brotherhood: The Southeastern Province Reclamation Committee’s Bold Work Under Brother Deaderick Jones
In the heart of the Southeastern Province, a powerful resurgence of brotherhood is underway. Leading that charge is Brother Deaderick Jones, Chairman of the Southeastern Province Reclamation Committee. Under his visionary and hands-on leadership, the province has renewed its focus on reclaiming inactive and general members— those brothers who, for various reasons, have drifted away but remain vital to the growth and strength of the bond. Purpose-Driven Leadership Appointed during a time of revitalization across the fraternity, Brother Jones has brought both structure and innovation to the reclamation process. His mission is simple but ambitious: “Bring the brothers back.” He views reclamation not just as a numbers game, but as a personal, chapter-level responsibility rooted in accountability, engagement, and love for the bond. By prioritizing outreach efforts and focusing on tailored messaging, he has led the charge in helping active chapters find new ways to connect with those who have become inactive. Whether it’s through personal calls, social media outreach, or hosting welcome-back events, the committee encourages chapters to be intentional and consistent.
Data-Driven Recognition One of the most important tools Brother Jones uses in his leadership is a dual-metric tracking system: he evaluates reclamation success both by raw number of reclaimed brothers and by percentage relative to a chapter’s active membership. This dual lens ensures that both large and small chapters receive fair and equal recognition for their efforts. Raw Numbers: Chapters that reclaim the highest number of brothers are celebrated for their widespread outreach and influence. Percentage Reclaimed: Chapters that show the highest rate of reclamation are acknowledged for effectiveness, regardless of size—an important distinction that encourages all chapters, including smaller ones, to engage meaningfully. This approach also helps the committee identify trends, support underperforming chapters, and spotlight innovative approaches to member engagement.
