I completely agree!

I'm pumped about our first Candidate Class coming through this Fall... I'm excited about implementing VBR. The Minimum Standards are exactly what I think the National Fraternity needs to give chapters some direction.

I was also against Minimum Standards going into Grand Chapter. I felt like anything that could be used to close a chapter was inherently bad.

However, I can see now that it would only shut down a chapter if they showed true lack of dedication to our principles (for 3 years).

The next Grand Chapter being in St Louis is also going to be great. I'll be alum then and it's our goal to have an alum chapter there to represent the Mu Tau chapter. St. Louis is only an 8 hour drive instead of the 24 hour drive we had from Edmond, Oklahoma.

That reminds me, I have my reimbursement check still uncashed...

How do all of your chapters fare as far as attaining minimum standards?
