Could not agree more on any of these posts.:)

LXA had a Great Web Site but developed some glitches and lost the web maker, went through another who did not last long and the Brother who was in the process of getting it updated resigned for other position!:(

While we do have a faily large aount of ELC ( Traveling Sec) with the size of LZA, it is hard to have enough to get around to all of them enough.

LXA is on a two pronged program of recolonizing closed chapters and into new schools.

Having House Building funds, well taht is another problem. We have LACP which is all volunteer to help in housing.

Check the LXA Web and go to properties.

But, here comes the But!

The small Chapters who run into trouble at times seem to have problems getting a Big helping hand from HDQ!

I do not know for sure what actually happened but the Chapter at Tx. Weslyn was closed for membership. I know a Brother there who was bitter about it, but still feels very strongly about LXA! Oh, He was the last Initiate there!:(

Beleive it or not, There Are Members of Hdq who are on these threads and see what is being said, good or bad!:cool:

Maybe they will happen across this thread!:D

Our website is embarrassing. They've been working on improving it for about a year now but they stopped for some reason. As one of the largest sororities, you'd think we'd have a decent website.

We do colonize a lot of chapters a year but they seem to be contained in the South. Specifically in Florida, Virginia, and South Carolina. We tried expanding to Kansas but our efforts were futile. I would like to see expansion out West and in the North.

Alpha Phi Omega: I would like to see more active regional alumni groups. There are only seven recognized alumni associations in the country!!

On a local note: I'd like to see us not be local. I want us to affiliate with a national, meaning, I want to see us more dedicated to the dream we were founded on.

i know the person who is updating your website! i think she was supposed to be starting in nov. she has gotten a little busy since she had a little legacy in dec! it is funny becuase i know her from the aph!



on topic....our website definately needs updating. our sisters only section has information from 2 years ago!!! it would be great to have more info and access to manuals, etc from the website.

i would love to see more recruitment training...like a recruitment boot camp or something. i would just want to make sure that different styles of recruitment were represented....not just rush from big southern schools.

OMG, I thought I was the only one who thought DZ's website was, shall we say, a bit lacking. I'm so glad someone else thinks so!

Other than that, though, I wouldn't change a thing. :)

Hey, we appreciate your kind words about our DG website! I was on a national committee this summer to evaluate it and make recommendations. All I can say is you haven't seen anything yet! Wait till we update it in 2004!

Good news! This is in the works...and its supposed to be awesome. Not sure how soon the rollout will be, but I do know an update is on the radar & it will be competitive! Yea!

ETA: I didn't say what I would change...and that would be that I would make it easier to donate to the Foundation. I wish there was an EFT/automatic draft function available (I've seen other National Org's web-sites with an option to make a donation from their web-sites as well). Anyway, for EFT, if I could set it up for the Foundation to draft $X from my bank account every month, I would be so much more into contributing. Sorry to admit it, but I am just lazy & sometimes writing a check at the end of a long day is more than I can do...I always forget & before I know it, its next years drive!

FWIW: The DG website as it currently looks was just launched at Convention in 2002. Prior to that, the DG website was (IMO) not too exciting. Thankfully, they did an overhaul and I think it looks great now.

I just want to comment that this is a great thread, where we constructively criticize. Keep up the good vibe!

I echo the website...and I WANT a Sisters-Only section....as long as I have been active, it's been down! I think the main website is actually really nice...although I do want that damn blurp about Beta Kappa taken off of there...you know what I mean Shelia...

Also, I'm being totally superfical, but I really love the color purple and wish it were one of our colors...ok...how stupid and superfical did that sound amoung I want more support from alum and I want more emphasis on philanthropy....

Ditto on that point. Also the way our election/slating (whatever you want to call it) is ran. Don't like it at all. Caused much drama in our chapter...not sure we'll be over it any time soon.

I hear you there!!!

I've met a bunch of your RDs, and that's true. And that would be great for our CLCs too! :D

I'd like to see DU have more of a presence in the South.
