Firehouse,
Thanks for the comments. Again, we are on the same page philosophically.
I appreciate and support your problem-solving on the political realities of closing chapters. My belief, though, is that while that concepts makes sense to us - I'd bet the house that most of our Neo-Fascist friends in student affairs wouldn't see it the same way. Also, it would have to be a case-by-case basis. For bad chapters, my experience is that there is bad reputation, low reputation and no reputation - and that they are generally equally distributed. For "bad" and "low" - we're better off closing and returning under the right circumstances.
By the way, I have "above-average" knowledge of Memphis' operations but am not an officer. (I do volunteer.) I am supportive of most of what Memphis recommends, but I am also of the firm belief that our best practices and ideas come from our chapters. PiKA does best when our ideas come from the frontlines.
I am well aware of what you, Firehouse, have contributed to PiKA over the years. I believe that the names Heller, "Firehouse", Handler and Knaus are four of the most important in our history. For that, I say thank you.
