Billy, that is usually how small minded people think or those that were never in a Greek Org.
I did not pay for my Brothers, I started the whole thing!
We had minamul dues and house rent! We did not have a house our first Sem. Did the second! Each of us paid a little out of our own pockets to do things that were not charged to the Chapter, just the thing to do!
We were fighting to stay alive on campus with 5 other National Chapters.
To this day, 38 years later, I have the Brothers not only at My Chapter but ones that I have met all over the Country!
I wasnt a LXA for 2 years I still am and we get together often and let alone meeting all of the peeps on GC who I have become freinds with!
Ex: One of My Guys is moving to Balt. to work! I passed it along to the LXA in Md area! If I did not know him or some of the Brothers there, i could not try to get him hooked up!

He wont be alone in a new City and Area!
Buy freindship My Butt!
