I keep reading this and am wondering if you understand the difference between House and Chapter?
A Chapter is made of the Members. A house is a building that is the focal point with letters on the out side.
Maybe I am simplifing some what.
So, you do not have a big House building that will accomodate all memebers. Many Chapters on Campi are not able to do that or even have a house and meet in dorms or student center but still function.
Say you have a house, rental, that will hiold xyz amount of people, if they are happy being plugged in like sardines, that is part of being a member.
We did that with the Local I started and did very well. It was a blast.
Why was it a blast, because, it was the focal point where when in doubt, go to the house and see who was there.
A fancy House does not a Chapter make, it is the People who make it. Interaction is what makes a GLO !
