The changes of the seventies are still resented by some alumni and I don't think that we'll ever be able to change their hearts.
Alumni programming has to to be alumni focused. What is in it for them? Asking them to come by to watch officer installation followed by being hit up for $$$ turns a great many folks off.

John, I am sorry for this Brother that thought it was all about beer.
There is so much more to LXA than this.
I am a firm beleiver in Alums who still beleive what LXA is really about, the good times and the bad.
Do as We Alums still go back for Founders Day and HomeComing and partying a bit. Yes We do. But not in excese! We are to damn old!
We go back to see Our Brothers who We have not seen in a long time and then go have a few beers and cominserate about the good old days.
Founders Day, We Initiate a New Associate so The Alums can see the Ritual wich is Important to us all. The Blood does flow doesnt it!
I will be the New Mentor for for the Rho as You all know how strongly I fee about Alum Relationships.
As Lynn Said, the Alums are only Asked for Money and there is so much more involved in LXA. I have pushed as You know about giving more Strength to the office of High Rho.
We are the back bone of The Fraternity.Not only the few on here, but all over.
I dont feel like it takes to much from IHQ to place an emphasis on the Position of RHO!
It should be placed 3rd or 4 th in the line up of Officerships of The High Zeta.
It is not just hitting up Brothers for Money, But Brothers getting back together again.
