Ryan, It is good to see You back on the boards.

I cannot remember the Date, but there is a Colony that is either running or soon to be and then Chartering.

I will email Joe Clarey an Alum and try to get a further update.

Matt, I think that the S E is not the only area that feel the same way.

But, I wish everyone would realize that the new Leaders are much more intuned to what the feelings are and that the ELCs jobs is not to be snitches per say, but are there to work with The Chapters and impress on them what may need to be done to get back on track if need be.

I remember the story that You told about a previous situation at EM that You were not happy with and I along with others felt as You did.

I dont really feel that the S E is a bastion of LXA as there are many strong Zetas across the country.

1 of the strongest is Kansas State Un.

Several in Mo. are very strong also.

It seems that IHQ is more on track to give a fuller expectation of a more well rounded Fraternity in a country wide spectrum.

It cannot be done over night as I am sure we all can respect.

I would like to see more and stronger Zetas on the Western Area, but, it seems the Schools are a totaly different aspect than many of us may realize and I think John G would have a better grip on that as an Alum from Mu Z and High Pi at Fullerton.

I am sure it is of a big help when there are Zetas near any new Colonys as it helped in bebirthing of LX Z!
