Your guys' support has been awesome. I've contacted a local alum from the 80s (when we had damn near 120 guys), and we shared so many of the same sentiments, and I think the spark has been made, and things MIGHT change. The best thing is that he has gone through many of the same things; at the time he joined, the chapter was very small, and his class helped start a reformation that would last until about the mid 90s. He also dealt with the same dumb IFC director. During his time, not only were they the "Animal House", but Delta Sig dominated IFC exec board, did numerous community service, and even created the SDSU Designated Driver program (only for the University to copy the idea the next year).
See, the thing about my devotion is that I don't work within the house because of my chapter. Going to convention, I learned what it REALLY means to be a brother of this fraternity, and I MYSELF feel like I owe it to the 103,649 brothers who came before me. I owe it to the two men who created this brotherhood 104 years ago. I owe it to 54 years of tradition on this campus. So, I gladly oblige to doing my duties as a member of Delta Sigma Phi, not Gamma ALpha chapter. And you're right. I WILL be an advisor. I WILL go to convention every yr it's held, no matter if my chapter exists or not.
But, at the same time, I realize there are more important things I should be worrying about right now, such as school, and well, school, and I'm more aware of what I should be doing right now overall. And right now, the only thing I can do is just have fun when the chapter DOES do things.
Anyways, after today, things seem a lot brighter since I've brought attention to those who know how things SHOULD work. So, let's just hope some good comes out of this semester.
And don't worry the SDSU greeks on this board, my name will totally be kept out of this little "Plan of Action".
Unless the bros come one here, but I'm guessing they probably won't.
