33girl, Great question!
LXA does have a program set in place that when a new colony or a Re-Chartering is being intitiated, they try to work with the Local Alums and get an Advisor from the school.
They have set scheduals of ELC visits to work with them!
In the case of U. Incarnet Word in San Antonio, Tx, one of our very own GCers was asked and appointed as the New Advisor, lifesaver!
Mainly, where a National Organiztion goes in to Colonize, My Fratrnity will spend more time with them to get over the rough spots. Remember though, all Nationals are streatched to the limit!
Therefore Local Alums are an Important Part of the Equation!
