This blog is mind boggling to read. Although I have always stayed on the fence when it comes to my feelings about the AO, I only hope that this blog is lacking information. I doubt that the Alpha Chapter is even close to our worse off, and I dont think the Alpha chapter should hold it self to special standards (high standards nevertheless). I think that we are all brothers, and we all need to hold ourselves equal, no matter what chapter, and likewise, the AO should do the same. I am on the fence whether the AO should have forced a reorganization, and their authority to suspend members; according to the blog, a lot of the reasons was that those people were told they were not allowing the chapter self-governess, well, that if that is truly what the AO holds dear, then they have no business reorganizing. This is the first that I've heard of this situation, and I hope that such events do not hurt the chapters reputation on campus, because such events could scare potential members, and hurt the morale of the active brothers. I do think that reorganizations are often necessary within our fraternity, and we need to hold are selves to the standards we commited ourselves, which does mean sometimes trimming the fat. Beta is a privledge, not a right! I also think these blogs are childish in rhetoric. I realize their anger, which could cause such release, but the blog is sublined 'Your Number One Source for Alpha Chapter Gossip' which is inappropriate to spread. So, this is a tough situation, and I think that based on this blog, the AO and the men writing this blog are both in the blog
