Agreed with what everyones said. I have THE UTMOST respect for Doc, whom I think is the greatest living lambda Chi, but I think he is making assumptions that just arent going to play out. Alums get involved because they have a need/desire for a connection to the bond, and something to contribuite. NOT because of a name change.
If we want to change perceptions...close the low performing chapters and drop some serious coin on public relations campaigns.
Anyone heard of the creation of an alum ceremony? Like the idea, but have two concerns. First the name. I think it violates the "symmetry" of things. PM me for that if you dont know. And is that REALLY when they expect us to do it? My chap. wouldnt do it then. Secondly, you cant just "create" a new ceremony outta thin air. Our Rit was researched for months and draws on many sources. The AM ceremony is the condensed TKN init ceremony. I just believe you cant "write" a new ritual. It must be carefully crafted.
