I hate to say it but not only would that cut costs....

But I would love it.... I love camping/roughing (I think its a hold over from the army), I think it would be a big step in bringing the brothers closer together; plus the relaxed atmosphere would help some of the "tighter" guys loosen up.

My only concern is that they are doing this to "Control" the attendies more (no fun, booze, or girls). I know that the last regional that I was at (D.C.) they constantly hammered home this point.... my feeling is this: If the individual is such a jackass that he would not only embarass himself and his chapter, not to mention the Fraternity as a whole, at an international event; the why the hell is he a brother in the first place? Remember the open moto(s) "Every man a man" and "Naught without labour" (or more correctly translated "that which is worthwhile is difficult"). If we are not "man" enough to police or control ourselves then what business do we have representing Lambda Chi Alpha?
