Who knows how things would have gone if DZ had made everyone alum, gone along with the chapter's vote to self-close at the end of this school year and recolonized at DePauw in 2008-09, as seemed to be the original plan? Do you think it would have worked out? |
I got the impression that maybe Texas*Princess thought we just cast people out into the darkness for gaining five pounds back in the olden days of 1987. Actually, Texas*Princess, I didn't think you meant any harm at all, but I did want to reassure you that the values weren't that different back then.
Here's the thing: I have my doubts about how almost immediate re-colonizations and re-organizations are ever going to work. Would a year be long enough that the reputation of the group would change that much?
That's why I'm interested to hear about re-organizations that "took." I want to hear about cases in which five or ten years down the road the group is still as strong as it was the day that IHQs did the re-organization recruitment.
