When my chapter was closed in '95, all of the chapter trophies, composites and other "stuff" was collected up and stored in various Brothers' off-campus houses. However, over the years as Brothers graduated or moved from house to house, a lot of the stuff was lost, destroyed or damaged. Now, with the Chapter rechartered, we are still trying to find some of the more important things - like some of the chapter's international awards and other old historical objects.
In retrospect, it would have been MUCH better if we would have just rented a single storage space to keep everything. I'm sure alumni or someone could have footed the bill for a few years until recolonization. Oh well...hindsight is always 20/20.
