I have been a member of Delta Sigma Phi since 1995. I have attended three conventions and will soon be attending my fourth in Chicago next weekend.

What I have heard through the grape vine is that there has been a lot of "coalition building" going on. While I do think it is a good idea to build coalitions with other members especially those that represent similar campuses and chapter dynamics. I think it is absolutely stupid to rally behind one person. FEAR THE UNIBRAIN. We were all granted the gift of thought and free will, I encourage you all to use it. Enjoy convention, but challenge the process...especially lame duck elected officers that are promising you the world but don't have a leg to stand on.

I will be there, I will be speaking, I will challenge the process! Will you? Or will you close your eyes do what you are told to do by your "elected representative(s)" I hope not, because if you do you are loosing your democratic right, and your own opinion

Just some thoughts from a guy who has been in a rodeo or two before. Have a good time in Chicago, be safe and most importantly enjoy the brotherhood.
