We have over 900 living alums from our chapter.
There's your problem. 900 alums will have 900 or so different opinions. They should have their own alumni chapter and give you the alumni's collective opinion through that -- or through the house corporation.

Alums usually are pretty resistant to change. This is a good change. If you don't believe me, there are tons of statistics out there (I'm sure your HQ would be happy to provide you with them) that agree with what I'm telling you. If these guys want to complain, let them. Alums don't have to live in the chapter house, you guys do.
