Several of the alumni have gotten responses from different levels of HQ, that HQ didn't believe/or supported the idea it could be done at Umass. Why? I don't know other than what I have mentioned.
I personally talked to a "higher up" in a phone call about two months ago. He said there would be no greek area at Umass in the near future and that "there is no possibility that Gamma Zeta will ever be recolonized at Umass." Stupid me, I bought into it.
I just KNOW that if we were given the chance, just a CHANCE, that the Gamma Zeta house would have LXA's in it right now.
All the alumni were asking of HQ was an "ok" to try it. No financial support. No employee resources. No contributions.
Just an opportunity to see if we could get it started again.
We had a pretty good spark. I truly believe we could have had a fire started by now.
It just made me a little sad to see a fraternity, less than a year old at Umass, being successfully recolonized, and in our house. Pike and LXA aren't that different, especially at Umass.
The alumni group had some serious backing; partners at major law firms in Boston, real estate tycoons, even a general manager of an NFL team.
