Wow.
Didn't mean to fire up the engines, but I am glad that you're passionate about the Fraternity. Nothing ever improves unless someone is unhappy. PiKA has benefitted over the years from passionate hell-raisers who pushed for better performance and a grander vision. You are obviously up on the latest developments.
I didn't know that SAE was in financial trouble. How did that happen? They have large, strong chapters in great houses, which is pretty much the definition of enduring strength. I have noticed that more Sigma Chi chapters are in trouble, but still, thay have the same string of great chapters, well housed.
And you are right about Sig Ep's ambition. They are building great houses and they emphasize size. On the other hand, I much prefer our cornerstones program to their balanced man. Am I wrong in thinking that Pi Kappa Alpha still has the largest average chapter size? That's important.
I have been disheatened to see some of our traditionally great chapters at major schools lose their competitive standing. Back in the day, Texas Tech, U-Texas, U-Florida were among the best. I agree that we could, we should, try to do better. There's no point in playing if we don't try to win.
