When I started the local, I had beenballed from another Fraternity. I wrote letters to many of the Large and Old line Fraternitys. I was turned down by all of them even though they did not know I was the only member. I had a TKE advisor tell me to contact LXA. I said who and looked them up. They were relatively new in the Fraternal world. I contacted them and they sent a TS to talk to us. In the mean time, another Fraternity had a TS come and give a presentation to us.
We had a 14 hour meeting to decide who we would affiliate with. Thank God I won the fight. We were colonized at the end of the next semester by LXA. I have never looked back and said damn why was I not in another Fraternity. I have been a LXA for 35 years and will be a LXA until the day I die.
