Cross and Crescent - MIA
 

Hey, has anyone seen a new C&C anytime in the recent past?

It seems that it along with current information on the INTL website is gone.

Lata!

C&C
 

Oh where oh where can the Cross and Crescent be? I would have loved to have received one that covered GA last year especially since I took part in some of GA's festivities, although since I was initiated in 2000 I haven't gotten one at all.

I just attended the Outdoor Leadership Adventure this past week and got the following from Ted Grossnickle and Betsy Bly (Editor):

The current edition is being mailed this week. The next one will be out in September and will look very different from the one you get next week. It will be printed 6 times per year and have a different format from the current version. Given those changes, it is still cheaper to print the new version than the current version.

This is consistent with the GHZ's commitment to communicate more information to the Chapters and our alumni.

in ZAX,
Eric

Eric, that is great to hear.

I know there were to be 4 but only 3 to those who donated to the Edu. Fund!

I am in hopes that what Lynn Chipperfeild told me, that there would be more about Zetas and Alums availablr.

It will be very interesting to see this new format and am looking to getting any information i can from Int. Hdq. about all of my Brothers!!

By the way how was it like living in the Tents:) How about the Out Door Ritual. Had to be Veeery Interesting:D

Got mine yesterday. It reminds me more of the C & C's from the early '90s.

PHI TAU MAKES THE COVER!!! Let's have a roll call of the other chapter houses on the cover of this issue.

Jason - I guess the pic was taken before your camera got "beat down by the MAN"!

Well, after you shout pman, walked out in 105 heat to mail box! to check!

F--- no! Still AWOL!:(

Oh in my previouos post, we normaly get 4 C & C a year.

Only would get 3 if you did not donate to Edu. Fund!:(

pman, really looking forward to getting a new issue!:D

Sorry to make you go out in the heat, Tom.

Upon further inspection, the issue I received yesterday is the June 2003 issue. I hate to admit this, but I rarely look at the date of issue. Is this in fact the long missing issue everybody has been waiting for, or is this the result of me not gifting my mail carrier at Christmas?

ZAX,

pman

pman, to funny!:D

Yepper, been forever and a while since last C & C!:mad:

Well, till we get one pman!;) :D

Nationals seems to be having real trouble with mailing anything out lately. I am the Treasurer of my chapter's Alumni Groups, and I used to get chapter financial updates, crossed swords, ELC reports, insurance bills, etc. I haven't received anything for almost a year now. I have called and talked to Sarah Harris, Ken Cope and Shane Foley, but still no mail! Ken did have his secretary send me some old C&C's. Thanks Ken!!!

Still no new C&C here either in State College!

Yea Me!!!!!!:)

Finally got it and was trying to read in Dr. Office.!!!! Going to Ball Game short so will finish it later or tommarrow at Shop!

LXAAlum said he got his and in Co. or John Pierce in Dallas, hech one of the two!

If I read it right (:confused: ) so far, there are some changes coming!

Well time will tell!:)

Off to The T-Bones Game tonight they did not make the play offs in the Norhtern Leauge but a great bunch of Kids Playing Base Ball the way it should be played!:D

New Format
 

Well I just got the september C&C

Ouch, it is a new Newspaper like format, I do not like it.


I'm sticking by the old school magazine format.


Lenoxxx

Hm, if they are going to send it out everyother month, guess HDQ, figured would be cheaper to do it this way!

Dont have mine yet, will wait to give a valuation. But if Lenoxxx say whoa, good enough for me! Trust His Judgement!:)

Lenox-

You were a posting fool today!

I'm leaving for State College tomorrow morning. I'll try to look you up when I get to town.

ZAX

pman

Got my new C & C today, verdict is still out as have not read it yet!

If this is the format and will come out every other Month, I am all for it! Maybe will have more meaty things and info about The Zetas and just everyday Brothers. Hopefully more info on New Possabilitys of Opening or Re-Colonizing. Even about Zetas that closed so can be passed along to those who still Might think Hazing is OKAY!

I havent seen the new C&C, but I think I remember the hat. It was really popular about 5 or 6 years ago. It just had the C&C embroidered on it. I dotn remember who the fraternity vendo was. Maybe Campus Classics? I dont know. It was a cool cap tho. Good luck.

Finally Here
 

Hey I just got my June 2003 Cross and Crescent Today (11/24/03)

And I have to say it was a great issue, far better than the new format "newspaper" style they have gone to.


Better Late than Never

Lenoxxx

Yes, it's campus classics! I've got one, with my zeta number on the back.

Farther back, early 90's, they had a hat with an even BIGGER C&C on it (which someone stole from my car - it was easy to figure out "whodunnit" when I saw some young punk wearing it a few days later - he couldn't explain what the hat meant, nor how he got it to the police, so he spent some quality time with them, and I got my hat back & subsequently lost it again when we moved...grrrrrrrr) through LXA directly. It was a green hat, purple bill, gold C/C. NICE hat.

Well, while a lot may not like the New Format, the main thing is that it is supposed to come out every other Month and not 4 times a year. Plan was if you did donate to the Ed. Foundation, you would get 4, if not only 3. Something to remember!

More information quicker and expanding with more news about Zetas! Open, closing, Zeta updates, etc.

Never look a Gift Horse in the Butt, you know what happens then!:D

Chip,

$10.00 of the cost of the Pryamid goes to the Edu. Foundation in your name!:)

As far as getting C & C late, make sure Hdq. has your current address.

While you may make a change of address with the Post Office, they do not notify the senders. You must do that! Amazing how many people forget that.

Once again, I will say, I am ging to enjoy every other Month C & C no matter what format it is in.:)

Betsy Bly just told me the latest C&C went to print last week! They should be arriving after the Thanksgiving Weekend, I would presume.

Jono

Kewel Beans Bro!!!!:)

I am looking forward to finding out more about LXA on a more, current and regular basis.

I always enjoy reading about other Zetas around the Country. But something is wrong with those pictures. They look so damn young!:(
