naive idealists
While we certainly like to hear all points of view, with age one
becomes impatient, and the naive idealists have a place for
sure in the "community of scholars." And we can all point out
various chapters which've pulled themselves up...but to 21? Now come on, any chapter under 40 is a drag on the others, and the risk management fees are killing you a helleva lot more
than a 100 member chapter. These risk management fees
came about 'cause we've misbehaved. Pure and simple. And
we are not, still not, getting the leaders. When was the last time you saw a campus mostly run by Greeks? Way back when
we had good grades and leaders...we did run the place...but we
had 25% or more of the campus in our corner, too. And we did
not have the idiot Greek Advisors..mostly non-Greeks, as a part of the bureaucratic layer in the collegiate administration, either.
We alums allowed that to happen; it is mostly our fault there...
Naw, we got a lot of work to do . The bellyaching and the infighting must stop. If you do not have an alumni board and a
chapter advisor, and if you are not carrying your share...you need to be gone. Again, we are not a rehab center and we do
more, or should, than barf on the SAE lion or pee on the Pike
porch. It may be time for the naive idealists to form their own local..cheap dues and all. I like my new BMW, don't you? The Fraternity is for Life....really....
