Greetings from beautiful Normal, IL, home of Illinois State University and Beta-Omicron. I'm here for the Founders Day festivities. RE: the idea that IHQ gets information from the chapters, that's mostly true.
However, there was a period in the 90's when our reporting was lousy. In fact, this came to a head when we initiated B-O 1000 about 3-1/2 years ago. It turned out that there were 4 men who hadn't gotten their paperwork in to IHQ (a.k.a. the Gamma didn't do it for them).
We took all sorts of photos w/B-O #1 and the guy we thought was B-O 1,000. By our count, he was the 1,000th initiate. If you spoke to someone in Indy, he was #996.
At any rate, it took us about a month of back-and-forth e-mails between the alumni president and IHQ to finally get things corrected. Garbage in, garbage out, right?
As I've heard, "Communism works in theory. In practice, however..."--
In ZAX,
BF
