What a debate we have going here!!!
Not much to add-no epiphanies-but reiteration of a few things are worthwhile.
A strong campus chapter USUALLY has an equally strong alum base. Consider expansion. If a strong alum base doesn't exist, a new chapter most likely will avoid your campus.
Yes, there are some over zealous alums, just like there are some actives who are pains in the arse.
Interfering in Rush-I agree that's a lot of power to have. HOWEVER, sometimes it's better for "Suzie the Slut" or "Cleo the Klepto" to remain anonymous to a group of 18, 19, 20 year olds.
Do you REALLY need to know this, or is it better for this informatin (and the future of the PNM) to remain as private as possible.
Ditto to the great alums on this board. Sympathy to those who have to deal with unappreciative chapters.
Sympathy as well to those actives that have their chapters micromanaged.
Some of you talk like "over 40" is a dirty word. HA! Just you wait!
