Ahh GammaZeta, always right on time with your philosophies.

I think that people need to wake up to their surroundings. If you dont think this type of thing is going on all across Americas' Campuses then you just arent aware of things. For one I know of PLENTY of greeks who use marijuana and cocaine on a semi regular basis, how is it that much different than alchohol (which btw accounts for more deaths than both coke and pot put together). Sure we have policies and such that say we can get in trouble for using any of the drugs described above, but i just dont understand how we as Americans can come up with a law that says its perfectly acceptable if you are a certain age to drink alcohol or smoke ciggarettes when both of those are responsible for so many deaths, but pot (an essentially harmless plant) is illegal.

What serious argument can you present about the 'bad' effects of pot. If it is being used for medicine, and could be a cheaper source of fuel (was used as an energy source in the late 1800s) and could help our economy drastically by providing BILLIONS of dollars of income that would remain in the US. I just dont get why its classified as a Schedule 1 drug, seems pretty stupid to me.

Anyway, Back to SDSU. I personally think it was better for the greek system to be selling the drugs, then say a gangsta ass hoodlum who would rather rob you at gun point then sell you some Blow. At least you can say some of the money was actually put to good use. It kept the chapter operating smoothly financially and it allowed them to put more resources into their philanthropies and community service (i guess its not so bad looking at it that way).

I guess now I look like a DRUG ADVOCATE......oops.

biofuels could be a crock of shit, but with gas prices the way they are and continue to rise......im willing to look at an alternative fuel source.


BTW I think HYBRIDS are bs too......tell me why a Geo Metro got better gas mileage 20 years ago (approx 55 MPG) then any compact HYBRID car today (averaging around 40 MPG)

Ethanol is a dream, and a dumb one.

psssshhhhh drugs arent bad......there is in fact a little known chemical in weed called 'fuckit'......as soon as you get a little bit of that in your system, all of lifes problems just go away.

Right or wrong, it is not for us to decide, it is still illegal, period.

We do not know for sure how many Brothers were involved.

But, I have always been of the beleif that if one or two were involved, this should not hurt the whole chapter. But of course it does as we can see.

Even under suspension, this does not mean the total chapter should be closed. The problem is the stigma it brings with LXA being mentioned and some who were dealing or buying. But, it seems so in this case.

Now, I guess the question is, will the chapter be closed over this? If so, what happens to all of the Brothers that had nothing to do with this?

And hemp as it is commonly called was used for many things during WWII and not smoking either.

As citizens, voters, and therefore shareholders of the United States of America, it IS for us to decide. We own this country.

Likewise, as members of Lambda Chi Alpha, we own this fraternity.

Fix it in your mind and remember it.

"Likewise, as members of Lambda Chi Alpha, we own this fraternity."

That's what I've been saying all this time!

Fight the power (HQ)!!!!!!

While you may beleive what you stated you are correct on at least one point!

Yes, we as members own this Fraternity as we both have seen from the G A that we attended.

But now, do you really beleive that our duly elected delegates really care about us?

You cannot see what a terrible state of affairs we are in country wise?

I say again, if it is illegal, then that should answer the point.

Whether you agree with me that is fine.

I hate to say it gammazeta but you act like a lawyer. I am not overly fond of them.:rolleyes:

Get off your butt and do something instead of complain.:o

GammaZeta 05-10-2008 03:27 PM

Are you going loco Tom?

I'm not complaining!

I'm just stating my opinion.

In my last three to four posts, I am acting like the anti-lawyer. I have no idea how you can say I am acting like a lawyer.

Tom, I suggest you read up on the history of marijuana and cocaine and how they came to be illegal. If that answers the point for you, and you're comfortable with it, then so be it. Right now you sound like my Uncle Bill, who thought Richard Nixon was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

GammaZeta 05-10-2008 07:04 PM

Read the history of Coca-Cola...

Personally I think that the brothers involved should be given the boot while the rest of the chapter is allowed to continue on with more oversight. That is, if Greek Life is allowed to continue at SDSU (hopefully it is).

Maybe its just me being naive from only being involved with the fraternity for less than a year. Who knows.

(As a side note, the law needs changed. People possessing small amounts of marijuana don't need locked up for years and clogging up our jail systems. They either need to legalize it or make non-jail penalties for it.)
