I may have posted this some other thread, but we are having membership problems also.
I had a Active in bad standing who emailed me professing his love for The Zeta and LXA but was not current with his dues. Ouch, it hurts all Brothers of The Zeta.
Well, We demolished our House in Aug last year. The Zeta Just feels that without a House they cannot really have a good rush!
I explained to Him that a House is great but in 1965, I was a 1 man Local with no house and members, also going against another group and only 1 would be allowed on campus at that time.
So while 99% of the Current Members have had a House, it was not always there.
Our situation was a heck of a lot harder than they have now. They Have LXA as a International to Name, a 3 lot corner across from Campus. A tradition of not giving up and being there for 38 years.
Sad but true, I never heard back from him!
As can be seen from these many posts, each Zeta goes through good times as well as bad. If it is bad, then that is the time for all of the Brothers to Band Together and Say "YES WE CAN" and do it.
I will throw this in, LXAAlum will be with The Brothers at U. No. Col. for their Re-Chartering This weekend!
