Yes Tom, I have been to many LXA meetings.
What Brother Klimek says is a clear signal of what one of LCAP's problems were.
"that don't understand what being a fraternity means"
THAT is one of the problems. From what I understand, it was never in LCAP's authority to place judgment on what being a fraternity means. Why was LCAP suddenly in charge of what chapters to close, what chapters should recolonize, what chapters violated risk management, what chapters didn't meet their recruitment goals, what chapters should do for ritual, etc.
From what I have heard from other chapters and witnessed, LCAP seemed to exceed their powers. They didn't just focus on real estate, but started to overstep what they were set up to do by getting involved in recruitment, ritual, starting new chapters, setting house policy, etc. The line between General Fraternity and LCAP started to blur. After a while, it wasn't just IHQ making the calls on risk management, recruitment.
However, I don't blame LCAP for doing so. It was inevitable for the position they were in. For example, recruitment. How could LCAP NOT usurp power from IHQ in recruiting to make sure that a house they owned and rented to a chapter would meet full occupancy.
Maybe the lines between the two organizations became too blurred and distorted.
