Post GA Bills

Any comments on the bills up for vote at GA this summer? You can find them at http://www.lambdachi.org/conferences...veworkbook.pdf

Something that stood out to me was Bill 12, the elimination of the "eight semester rule". This rule allows brothers to elect to alumni status after 8 full dues-paying semesters as an active. The justification for this was that with more students staying five years in college more of these guys are hanging out with the actives without the liability insurance protections of dues-paying actives.

In my opinion, this seems to be another way for nationals to raise more money from the brothers. Just because alumni are active in the chapter's activities doesn't mean actives should be forced to stay in a failing chapter or one that has lost respect for the values it was founded on.

But that's my opinion, what about everyone else?
