I've been thinking about this. I'm not so sure I like the idea that there is a specific "type" that we should pursue or strive to become. I've always liked the diversity of Gamma Zeta; rich, poor, young, old, white, black, asian, jewish, christian, political, scientific, lazy, ambitious, studious, party-animal...
If we were encouraged to go after any type of standard, other than being a good guy, I think we would have missed out on a lot of good brothers.
In fact, the more I think about it the less I like it. I also think it is very insulting to those that are alumni, the one's that made LXA what it is today.
It's almost like saying "Hey good job alumni on all your hard work and donations which helped form Lambda Chi Alpha, but you don't really fit in anymore. Oh by the way, we will now encourage your chapter to recruit a specific type of person, who will most likely be completely different from the type of people you and your fellow alumni are. Your "type" isn't welcome in the future of the fraternity, but you are more than welcome to stick around and donate your time and money to this practice of elitism."
