Bill, is this not the crux of the problem? Costs, costs and costs.

Beleive me, no one more than me wants to see a Brother of LXA or anyother Greek Organization lose a member.

But as many of us know, there is a shortage of cash in many Chapters and to raise dues for this type of project can and will either close many chapters or keep new chapters from starting.

At one time and I am not sure if IHQ still has a program of low cost loans to chapters got sprinkler systems. But in a retro fit of old large houses, the cost will still be extensivly high.

So in essence, where does that leave Greek Houses?
