Clarification.
Coramoor,
I did not explain the gravity of the situation in enough detail perhaps.
I am about one of five brothers (of whom I know) that feel the house has no focus, is heading in the wrong direction, or should change in the slightest.
If there are any more who feel the same way, they are a VERY silent minority.
With in five years, my chapter will be in ruins with no members and no one living in. We are barely known on campus because we do not participate in Greek Week, homecoming, or anything else with the university. We do not have socials with other frats or sorotities, and we certainly do not have alumni who after graduating from our house would be willing to support it, seeing how useless of an organization it has become. In fact, I would feel guilty asking someone for money knowing that it would only go to support the sustained drinking of alcohol and nothing really productive.
It used to be a cheap place to live for beta members, but since we only have 13 living in a house with a capacity of upwards of 30 (for singles in every room) the rent has skyrocketed.
The house truly is a mess and I dont think cleaning house is the answer as that would truly CLEAN house (meaning around 70% of the house would be kicked out).
From what I read on this board and have learned about beta from the website and the conventions, our organization has a long, memorable, and unique history which is worth preserving. I am at a loss for ideas of what to do.
